The two carriers are integrating their award-winning loyalty programmes, Delta's SkyMiles and Emirates' Skywards, in a customer-centric move allowing frequent travellers increased flexibility and more benefits.
Starting June 1st, 2002, SkyMiles members can earn and redeem miles on Emirates-operated flights throughout the world. Members of Emirates' customer loyalty programme, Skywards, will also be able to earn and redeem miles on Delta flights worldwide.
"To mark the relationship we are offering double miles for all applicable accrual classes for travel on Emirates between June 1 and Aug. 31, 2002," said Rob Borden, General Manager, SkyMiles, Delta Customer Loyalty Programmes.
"This partnership increases mileage-earning and redemption opportunities between Dubai and international destinations such as Amman, Bahrain; Bangkok, Cairo, and Sydney."
SkyMiles members flying on qualifying Emirates fares will earn a minimum of 500 miles or the actual miles flown, whichever is greater. Members will earn a 150 percent mileage bonus for First Class travel, a 125 percent bonus for Business Class travel and 100 percent of the miles for Economy Class travel. Skywards' members can also earn and redeem miles on Delta flights worldwide.
