Emirates Skywards Miles: 7 ways to spend your points beyond flights

Emirates Skywards Miles provide a variety of benefits beyond booking flights. Skywards members can utilize their Miles for flights and upgrades, as well as for train tickets, sporting events, concerts, holidays, and other experiences. To use their Miles, members can book a Classic Reward flight with Emirates or flydubai, covering the full cost of the ticket, excluding taxes.

Members can also use Cash+Miles to reduce the cost of a ticket by combining cash and Skywards Miles. Upgrades are available for travellers seeking to enhance their existing booking, with options ranging from Economy to Premium Economy, and Business Class, up to First Class. Unused Miles can be spent on experiences such as sporting and cultural events, live events, and exclusive invitations, as well as holidays and hotel stays through the Skywards Miles Mall.

Members can also earn Miles through various partners, including banks, hotels, car rental companies, and lifestyle partners. However, it is important to note that Skywards Miles have an expiry date, and members must redeem them before expiration. Nonetheless, members can still earn Miles through partners without flying.
