The recent program changes in Emirates’ Skywards program can certainly be interpreted as the airline wanting more members to use their points in Economy Class rather than in higher cabins.

This is also emphasized by a current promotion: For bookings made by March 31 and departures until January 06, 2026, a 25% reduction in the mileage price is applied to all Economy Class award flights with partner airlines.

The offer is valid on all partner airlines, except for FlyDubai and easyJet – leaving 16 airlines from Air Mauritius to United Airlines.
