Emirates Skywards has unlocked flight rewards for Premium Economy travel, a move highly welcomed by its more than 35 million members worldwide.
The flight rewards for Premium Economy offers members a chance to redeem Skywards Miles on Classic Rewards and Upgrade Rewards on all Emirates’ Premium Economy cabins.
The highly anticipated offering underscores Skywards’ commitment to redefine the loyalty experience and always offer members more rewards, benefits, and greater travel options.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher Divisional Senior VP Emirates Skywards
“We’re thrilled to announce the introduction of flight rewards for Premium Economy on Emirates. This has been in development for some time and comes following the huge success, positive feedback, and strong demand by members to utilise Miles on Premium Economy, especially on popular long-haul destinations such as London, Sydney, Melbourne, and New York. The offer will initially be available exclusively to our Skywards members, with plans to extend to other airline partners in the future. We are confident this enhancement will further enrich the travel experience, staying true to our brand promise of always flying customers better.”
Starting from 7,000 Skywards Miles
Members can now redeem Skywards Miles to purchase a full flight ticket on Emirates Premium Economy cabin, starting from 15,000 Miles (one-way).
