EMIRATES SKYWARDS

Skysurfers

Every trip is a rewarding adventure for little explorers 

Be rewarded while you travel the world

Skywards Skysurfers is the loyalty programme for young travellers. Kids between two and 17 years old can earn Skywards Miles on every Emirates and flydubai flight. They can then use their Miles to pay for their next flight or enjoy unique lifestyle benefits with our partners worldwide.

And as they earn more Miles, Skysurfers can become Silver and then Gold members, enjoying a new level of privileges as they go up the tiers.

Only one registered parent or guardian can manage a Skysurfers account while it is active. Just add your child’s details and link your Emirates Skywards account to enrol your kids to Skywards Skysurfers. 

Here’s what you can expect as a Skywards Skysurfer

  • Earn Skywards Miles
    Our Skysurfers earn Miles on every flight just like any Emirates Skywards member. You can earn Skywards Miles on flights with Emirates, flydubai and our airline partners. You also earn Tier Miles and enjoy a higher level of privileges once you achieve Silver and Gold membership status.
  • Take off on an adventure
    Once you’ve earned Miles, you can use them to keep exploring the world. You can always keep track your Miles balance. And when you’re ready to spend them on a reward, just ask the registered parent or guardian managing your account to log into their account and make a request for you.
  • Get more benefits
    From hundreds of dedicated entertainment channels to special meals and toys, we make every flight more fun for little explorers. And as one of our Silver and Gold Skysurfers, you can expect priority check in, extra baggage allowance and more.
  • Enjoy special treatment
    Travelling with young children can have its challenges. From family-friendly seating options to dedicated check-in counters at the airport, we make travelling as a family easier and a lot more fun.
