Since 2018, the award-winning loyalty programme of Emirates and flydubai has offered customers one loyalty currency, fantastic benefits, and now, the opportunity for members to enjoy Classic Rewards on both carriers.
The agreement was signed in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Group and Chairman of flydubai, and senior executives from both Emirates and flydubai.

Classic Rewards are available on emirates.com and members can redeem Cash+Miles directly on flydubai.com.
Dr. Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards, said: “We’re very pleased to announce this exciting enhancement to our loyalty programme with flydubai. Starting today, members can use their Skywards Miles for Classic Rewards on all flydubai flights, accessing a network of more than 130 destinations served by the carrier.* We look forward to enhancing our member proposition, and together, taking the loyalty experience to even greater heights.”
Jeyhun Efendi, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations & E-commerce at flydubai, said: “The introduction of Classic Rewards marks a significant milestone in enhancing the Skywards experience for flydubai customers. Alongside our existing Cash+Miles offering, it gives our passengers greater flexibility and value when redeeming their Miles. Our strong partnership with Emirates through the codeshare agreement and combined network unlocks even more possibilities, making it easier than ever for customers to access a seamless travel experience across both airlines.”
