Earning Miles

How do you earn Miles with Skywards?

Skywards membership gives you easy and direct ways to earn Skywards Miles:

  • Flying Emirates
  • Flying one of our partner airlines
  • Being a customer of one of our leisure and lifestyle partners.

If you book your ticket online at emirates.com, you can earn extra bonus Miles (150% for First Class, 70% for Business Class, and 30% for Economy). And the more Miles you earn, the more rewards you can enjoy.

Emirates flights

Every time you fly Emirates, you earn one Skywards Mile for every mile flown.

Flying with Emirates also credits your account with the equivalent in tier miles, which help you move toward and retain the higher status of Skywards Silver and Gold membership.

Once you reach these tiers, you'll gain access to exclusive benefits and rewards, including a special tier bonus when earning Miles (25% bonus Miles for Silver members and 50% bonus Miles for Gold members).
