Emirates Skywards Program Updates
Bonus Tier Miles on flights
We’re also making it easier for you to earn Tier Miles with Emirates and flydubai. If you’re flying with us until August 31, 2026, you’ll earn 20% bonus Tier Miles regardless of your booking date.
Spending Skywards Miles on flights and upgrades
We’re updating how you spend Skywards Miles to reflect current travel trends. From May 20, 2026, the number of Miles required for Classic Rewards in First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy as well as Upgrade Rewards will increase.
In Business Class, one-way Saver Classic Reward fares are being introduced at 50% of the return fare.
Updated reward and upgrade rates may take a few days to reflect correctly on the Miles Calculator. Miles quoted at the time of booking are the correct reference while the update is in progress.
Reduced tier requirements
Until August 31, 2026, you can maintain your current tier membership or move up to the next with just 80% of the required Tier Miles or qualifying flights:
- Silver: 20,000 Tier Miles or 20 qualifying flights
- Gold: 40,000 Tier Miles or 40 qualifying flights
- Platinum: 120,000 Tier Miles with one flight in First Class or Business Class
Terms and conditions apply.
