Emirates frequent-flyer number – registration
If you are interested in becoming a member of Emirates’ loyalty program Skywards, the easiest way to do this is to visit the airline’s website. At the website you need to state your personal and contact information, and will receive a frequent-flyer number to be used on upcoming flights. This way you can earn points on all flights, giving you the chance to redeem benefits and bonuses such as free flights and upgraded seats on your upcoming trips.
Good to know is that Emirates Skywards is actually a joint loyalty program for both Emirates and flydubai, meaning you can redeem and spend your points when flying with both airlines.
Can I use my Skywards number for someone else?
The short answer is no, like most frequent-flyer programs Skywards doesn’t allow you to earn miles if you are not the one flying. With that being said Emirates offers a possibility of setting up a family account where you can earn and spend miles together with up to seven people – have a look at their website to learn more about the terms for this type of account.
