Emirates airline’s membership programme Emirates Skywards and Russian-based S7 Airlines have launched a frequent flyer partnership that allows members of both airlines’ loyalty programmes to earn and redeem miles for travel across their networks.

Starting today (December 4), members of Emirates Skywards will be able to earn Skywards Miles when traveling on S7 flights and can redeem their Skywards Miles for reward flights on S7 in economy and business class.

Members of S7’s frequent flyer programme Priority can now earn and redeem Miles when flying with Emirates to one of its 147 destinations in either economy or business class.

“Emirates is committed to providing its passengers with more connections and choice by not only expanding its routes but by also building strong partnerships with other carriers,” said Brian LaBelle, senior vice president of Emirates Skywards.

“Consequently our loyal Emirates Skywards members will benefit from more options for earning and redeeming their reward miles through our frequent flyer programme with partner S7 in Russia.  We also look forward to welcoming S7 Priority members on board our flights, and providing them with more rewarding access to our extensive route network,” he said. – TradeArabia News Service
