Sri Lanka among Top 10 Markets for Skywards
Membership of Skywards, the frequent flyer programme of Emirates and SriLankan Airlines, is closing in on the 50,000 mark in Sri Lanka, following good growth over the last year.

Sri Lanka enjoys the distinction of being one of the top 10 countries in terms of Skywards' memberships. Worldwide membership of the award-winning loyalty programme, which is available in over 200 countries, has topped 1.8 million.

In Sri Lanka, Skywards' popularity transcends all ages as is evident from a robust 1500 registered members of Skysurfers, the Skywards equivalent for young travellers aged between two and 16 years, a statement from Skywards said.

Emirates Area Manager Sri Lanka and Maldives Tissa Bibile said: "Skywards has delivered true value to its members through unbeatable travel privileges and benefits. We are very pleased with the response from Sri Lankan travellers to the programme."

Skywards offers three tiers of membership, Blue, Silver and Gold, with each membership tier providing exclusive privileges. Members earn Skywards Miles as they fly Emirates, Sri Lankan or partner airlines, or when they use the programme's designated hotels, car rentals, financial, leisure and lifestyle partners.

Skywards Miles can be redeemed for an amazing range of rewards, including flights, upgrades, hotel accommodation, excursions, exclusive shopping, and fine dining.

When redeeming Skywards Miles, members can receive free tickets not only from Emirates but also from other Skywards partners worldwide such as South African Airways, Delta, Japan Airline, and United Airlines.
