For over two weeks, hundreds of Emirates customers were wowed with fabulous surprises and novel prizes at Emirates Terminal 3. Sharing the joy and creating a buzz among travelers was part of Emirates Skywards celebrations on achieving a key milestone: 25 million members.

From 22 September to 7 October, Emirates Skywards gave away around 400 prizes, including 455,000 Miles, 16 gold and silver tier memberships, 16 Emirates Lounge access passes for two, 56 chauffeur drives, 53 partner offers, 160 branded notebooks, and several premier events passes for two and Home-Check in vouchers. Fifty-seven travelers won Skywards Miles, in chunks of 25,000, 5,000 or 2,500, which were credited straight into their account.
