How can I become a Skysurfers Silver or Gold member?

If you want to move up the tiers, all you have to do is fly more on Emirates. To qualify and retain your Silver status you must earn 25,000 tier miles and for Gold status you must earn 50,000 tier miles.
Tier miles are accumulated over a rolling 13 month period. Accumulating sufficient tier miles in any consecutive 13-month period will qualify you for a higher tier.
When you move up to a new tier, it will remain valid for one year. The following year, your tier membership will be reviewed at the end of the same month in which you first earned it.

Will I receive extra benefits if I become a Silver or Gold member?

Yes, there's a whole range of extra benefits, including priority check in and guaranteed excess baggage allowance. Click here to learn more.

Can I get free upgrades when I travel?

You cannot automatically be upgraded if you are a Skysurfers member. However, you can use your Skywards Miles for an upgrade on Emirates.
