Effective Monday 6 April, initial Emirates flights will recommence from Dubai to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Zurich, with four flights a week to London Heathrow, and three flights a week to the other cities.
Operating from Dubai International airport Terminal 2 until further notice, these flights will only carry outbound passengers from the UAE. Emirates will also carry belly-hold cargo in both directions, supporting trade and communities with the transport of essential goods. For health and safety reasons, the carrier will operate a modified inflight service program on these flights.
Magazines and other print reading material will not be available, and while food and beverages will continue to be offered on board, packaging and presentation will be modified to reduce contact during meal service Emirates’ Lounge and Chauffeur Drive services will be temporarily unavailable. Emirates Skywards Silver, Gold and Platinum members with a tier review date prior to 1 March 2021 will retain their current status with just 80% of the usual travel requirements. This means Silver members now need to accumulate only 20,000 tier Miles, Gold members 40,000 and Platinum 120,000 to retain their status.
Members unable to retain their existing tier during status reviews that fall between March and September 2020, will have their status automatically extended until 31 December 2020.
Skywards Miles can be redeemed up to 11 months in advance across an extensive range of rewards. As an example, in April members can use their Skywards Miles to book an Emirates flight ticket for travel in March 2021.
