As an added security measure, Emirates Skywards has introduced a second-level authentication through the use of one-time passcode for certain Emirates Skywards account activities, such as account login, profile updates and redemption activities (one-time passcode service).

A one-time passcode is a randomly generated number which Emirates Skywards will SMS and/or email to a member in connection with certain account activities. This is a second-level authentication, which may be required from the member in order to confirm that the account activity has been authorised by the member. The member will be informed at the time of the relevant account activity if a one-time passcode is required. Emirates Skywards may not require a one-time passcode for every login or account related activity.

You don’t need to register for the one-time passcode service. Where a one-time passcode is required in connection with your account, Emirates Skywards will send a one-time passcode by SMS to your registered mobile number and/or an email to the email address registered with Emirates Skywards (as shown in the your Emirates Skywards profile). In order to receive the one-time passcode, you will need to have access to the mobile number or email address registered with Emirates Skywards.

When you log in to your account or initiate any account related activity, you may be required to enter a one-time passcode as a second level of authentication to confirm that you have authorised the account activity. You will be informed at the time of the relevant account activity if a one-time passcode is required. This OTP will be sent to you via email and/or SMS.

We have introduced the one-time passcode service to provide you with additional security and protection in connection with your account, and to ensure the overall continued value and integrity of the Emirates Skywards programme for our members.

A one-time passcode will be issued almost instantly and you should receive it via email and/or SMS within minutes of initiating the request.

The one-time passcode will expire five minutes after it is issued by Emirates Skywards. When the one-time passcode expires, you will have to re-enter your credentials or initiate the relevant account activity again for a new one-time passcode to be sent to you.

No. This is a mandatory feature intended to enhance the integrity of the Emirates Skywards programme for members.

You don’t have to apply for OK to board approval online before your flight. Just present all the necessary travel documents when you check in at the airport.

This complimentary service allows you to receive flight status updates by email or by App notifications. You can choose to be alerted if there are any departure and/or arrival delays for specific flights and dates relevant to you. You can also opt in to receive the actual departures and arrival times of any flights.

Find out more about the Emirates App(Opens in same window).

If you have registered to receive departure alerts, you will only receive an alert if departure is delayed by more than 30 minutes. If the new estimated departure time then changes by a further 30 minutes, you will again be notified and so on. You may also opt in during registration to receive an additional alert informing you of the real-time flight departure.

The same applies if you have signed up to receive arrival alerts.

Email alerts are sent 24 hours a day, depending on the status of the flight.

You can register to receive flight status alerts for any Emirates flight. Each email will contain the following information:

• The Emirates flight number
• Date of departure/arrival
• Airport and terminal of departure/arrival
• Scheduled departure/arrival time
• Estimated departure/arrival time
• Flight status

If you have additionally registered for alerts informing you of the real-time arrival or departure times, the message will also contain this time.

Please note that flight status times should be used as a guide only. Emirates is not liable for any error, delay, interruption, inaccuracy or incompleteness in the service.

Once you have subscribed to receive alerts for a flight on a specific date, you cannot unsubscribe, however you will not receive any more messages after the entire one-way journey is complete.

If you have subscribed for the alerts but have not received any, it may be because of one of the following reasons:

• There were no delays to the flight you registered for, and/or you did not opt in for an additional notification on actual arrival or departure
• The email details you entered were incorrect
• You provided your email address less than 23 hours before departure

The messages are available in English only.

Emails will only be sent to you for the specific flight/s you requested, and your contact details will not be used for any other purposes.

If you are at the airport, simply go to the Emirates check-in desk or sales desk with your passport and flight details. Our agent will print out your ticket details to accompany your boarding card if this is required. There is no charge for this.

If you can’t find your booking reference or ticket number, please contact us.
