Emirates’ frequent flyer programme, Skywards, is offering double Skywards miles on first class and business class travel bookings in the month of June.

The global offer, available across all of Emirates’ 124 destinations, is applicable on flights booked by 30 June for travel before 16 August, 2012.

As an additional bonus, the double miles offer is open to both new and existing Skywards members who register online at www.skywards.com, a statement from Emirates said.

With no limit to the amount of miles earned during the offer period, Skywards members can achieve their desired rewards even faster, the statement said. Skywards miles can be redeemed for an extensive range of rewards, including airline tickets, flight upgrades, hotel accommodation, excursions and exclusive shopping.

“With over 7 million Skywards members around the world, and multiple industry- and customer-based awards, Skywards has become the programme of choice for discerning travelers. Likewise, Emirates’ award-winning first class and business class service sets the standard for top onboard service and entertainment,” said Brian LaBelle, senior vice-president, Skywards.

“Our double miles offer reaches out in two ways: Skywards members can double their miles earned and reach their rewards faster, plus it encourages them to experience our renowned first and business class.” – TradeArabia News Service
