October 5, 2006

DUBAI, U.A.E. — Emirates customers will be able to enjoy time savings, convenience and 500 bonus Skywards Miles when they use online or self-service check-in facilities between Oct. 4, 2006, and Nov. 30, 2006. 

The promotion also gives large groups the flexibility of being able to check-in up to nine passengers two to 12 hours in advance. 

Skywards, the frequent flyer program of Emirates and SriLankan airlines, offers three tiers of membership — Blue, Silver and Gold — with each membership tier providing exclusive privileges. 

Gold and Silver members are entitled to wait-list priority for all classes of travel, priority check-in and airport lounge access.

Members earn Skywards miles for each mile they fly on Emirates, Sri Lankan or partner airlines, or when they use the program's designated hotels, car rentals, financial, leisure and lifestyle partners.

Skywards miles can be redeemed for a wide range of rewards, including free tickets on Emirates or SriLankan and other Skywards partner airlines, flights upgrades, hotel accommodation, excursions, and exclusive shopping.
