The Skywards program of Emirates Airlines has announced a new collaboration with Jet2.com, enabling program members to redeem their miles for travel tickets to over 70 destinations served by this leading leisure airline. As part of its expansion in the United Kingdom, the award-winning loyalty program for both Emirates and Flydubai is now providing additional opportunities and rewards to its 4 million members.
Dr. Nejb Ben Khodr, Senior Vice President of Emirates Skywards, stated that the UK represents one of their most significant markets. He expressed excitement about expanding their partnership offerings, allowing millions of members to use their travel rewards for popular holiday destinations serviced by Jet2.com. Besides flight tickets, members can also exchange miles for meals, additional baggage allowances, preferred seating, and other benefits, facilitating a seamless start to their vacation completely paid for with Skywards miles. The program continues to explore new ways to enhance its offerings to deliver the best value, choice, and rewards typically available in a global loyalty program.

This partnership allows a wider range of customers to enjoy award-winning flights with the airline. According to Turner, this collaboration serves as an effective means to attract new customers, and they are confident that their reputation for outstanding customer service will resonate positively with Skywards members.
Beginning at 8,000 Skywards miles, including all fees and charges, members can now take advantage of flexible and convenient redemption options to popular leisure destinations served by Jet2.com.
