Dubai’s Emirates has decreased the value of Skywards Miles needed for upgrade rewards and classic rewards booked in the national carrier’s Business Class and First Class, the airline spokesperson confirmed to Arabian Business on Friday.
“In line with current market conditions, Emirates Skywards is introducing an increase on Skywards Miles required for Upgrade Rewards and Classic Rewards booked in Business Class and First Class. The increase will be gradually introduced on reward tickets across the Emirates network between December 22, 2022 and January 31, 2023,” the spokesperson said.
The bonus Skywards Miles earning opportunities will be increased for all Platinum, Gold and Silver members travelling with Emirates, the spokesperson added.
“On all Emirates flights booked from January 31, 2023 onwards, Skywards Platinum members will earn a further 100 percent of the Economy Flex+ Miles earned on a given route (increasing from 75 percent); Skywards Gold members will earn 75 percent of the Economy Flex+ Miles earned on a given route (increasing from 50 percent); and Skywards Silver Members will earn 30 percent of the Economy Flex+ Miles earned on a given route (increasing from 25 percent),” the spokesperson said.
Through the Emirates Skywards mileage calculator, travellers can see how many miles an award can cost.
However, the mileage calculator is yet to be updated with the recent changes as award searches now show higher awards costs.
