Emirates quick facts
Emirates is the state carrier of Dubai, and operates an exclusively long-haul fleet.
Understanding the Emirates Skywards loyalty program
Skywards is the frequent flyer program for Emirates, and with several transfer partner programs, it’s fairly easy to accrue miles.
That’s a good thing, as if you want to redeem miles for Emirates first class, you’ll have to book directly through the Emirates Skywards program.
