Emirates Skywards Partners Jet2.com to Expand Flight Rewards Across Europe
Emirates Skywards has entered a new partnership with UK leisure airline Jet2.com, allowing members of the award-winning loyalty programme to redeem Miles for flights to more than 75 destinations across Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Canary Islands.
The collaboration strengthens Emirates Skywards’ footprint in the UK—its largest membership market—by widening redemption options for its more than four million UK-based members. Under the deal, Skywards Miles can now be used not only for Jet2.com flight tickets but also for add-ons such as meals, extra baggage and preferred seat selection.
Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President of Emirates Skywards, said the partnership aligns with the programme’s strategy of delivering greater value and choice to members.
“The UK is one of our top markets and we’re pleased to expand our portfolio to offer millions of members a chance to redeem flight rewards on popular holiday destinations served by Jet2.com,” he said. “We’re always looking for new ways to expand our offerings and provide members with the best value, choice, and rewards a loyalty programme can offer.”
Jet2.com also views the agreement as a growth opportunity. Doug Turner, General Manager of Third Party Supply & Distribution at Jet2.com, said the partnership would help attract new customers while showcasing the airline’s customer service credentials.
“This is a great way for us to continue attracting new customers, and we know that our reputation for delivering the very best customer service will be a huge hit with Emirates Skywards members,” he noted.
Redemptions start from 8,000 Skywards Miles, including taxes and charges, with requirements varying based on fare levels. Jet2.com, the UK’s third-largest airline, operates from 14 airport bases and is set to launch services from London Gatwick in March 2026.
Emirates Skywards highlighted practical use cases for the partnership, noting that members flying long-haul with Emirates can earn enough Miles to fully redeem short-haul leisure trips with Jet2.com. Examples include Premium Economy or Business Class travel on Emirates routes generating Miles sufficient for European return flights with Jet2.
Globally, Emirates Skywards boasts more than 37 million members and partnerships with 20 airlines, alongside hotels, retail, lifestyle and financial brands. Recently crowned Best Global Airline Loyalty Program 2025 at the International Loyalty Awards, the programme continues to expand its rewards ecosystem across aviation and travel-related services.
