Emirates Skywards has announced a new partnership with Jet2.com, giving members the ability to redeem Skywards Miles for flight rewards across the airline’s network of more than 75 sun, city and ski destinations.

The agreement further strengthens Emirates Skywards’ UK proposition, where the loyalty programme has its largest global membership base, and expands redemption options for leisure-focused travel across Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Canary Islands.

Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, divisional senior vice president of Emirates Skywards, said the partnership reflects the importance of the UK market to the programme. “The UK is one of our top markets and we’re pleased to expand our portfolio to offer millions of members the opportunity to redeem flight rewards on popular holiday destinations served by Jet2.com,” he said. “In addition to flight tickets, members can also redeem Miles for meals, extra baggage allowance and preferred seat selection, helping create a seamless start to their holiday using Skywards Miles.”

Members can redeem flights on Jet2.com from 8,000 Skywards Miles, inclusive of fees and charges, with redemption levels varying according to fare and route. Jet2.com currently operates from 14 UK airport bases and is set to begin services from London Gatwick from March 2026.

The partnership allows Skywards members to combine long-haul earning with short-haul leisure travel. For example, members flying with Emirates from London to Sydney via Dubai in Premium Economy can earn enough Miles to redeem a return Jet2.com flight from London Stansted to Majorca. Similarly, Business Class travellers flying Emirates from Manchester to Dubai can earn sufficient Miles to redeem a return Jet2.com flight from Manchester to Salzburg, supporting winter ski travel.

Beyond flights, Skywards Miles can also be redeemed on Jet2.com for ancillary services including meals, additional baggage and seat selection, offering greater flexibility for leisure travellers.

Emirates Skywards now counts more than 37 million members worldwide, with the UK representing its single largest membership base. UK members can earn Miles across a wide range of partners, including retail experiences at Bicester Village, online shopping through Skywards Miles Mall, hotel stays via Emirates Skywards Hotels, Marriott Bonvoy and Accor, as well as holiday packages with Emirates Holidays.

The programme also offers earning and redemption opportunities with 20 airline partners, including United Airlines, Air Canada, TAP Air Portugal and Qantas, giving UK-based travellers access to a broad global network.

The new Jet2.com partnership further enhances Emirates Skywards’ appeal to UK members seeking greater flexibility between long-haul international travel and short-haul leisure breaks, reinforcing the programme’s focus on choice, value and everyday usability.
