Emirates Skywards is expanding how its global base of members can explore Europe, unlocking access to more than 12,000 rail destinations across the continent with the newly launched Skywards Rail
With access to over 40 major operators across 12 European countries, Emirates Skywards members can now use their Miles to purchase rail tickets seamlessly via the dedicated booking tool either online or via their mobile devices, in five different languages.
With the ability to search a variety of schedules, select cabins and ticket types, members can choose to pay fully with their Miles or by using a combination of Cash and Miles. Miles can even be used to purchase rail tickets for family and friends.
With unparalleled access across domestic, international and high-speed rail travel, Emirates Skywards members can unlock some of Europe’s most popular routes, such as Barcelona to Madrid, the Heathrow Express, London to Paris, and Rome to Milan.
Berlin to Frankfurt leads in from 4,100 Skywards Miles.
Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, Divisional Senior Vice President Emirates Skywards, commented, "Our members are looking for more flexible ways to use their Skywards Miles, and Skywards Rail is another step in expanding the programme beyond air travel. By unlocking affordable access to more than 12,000 rail destinations across Europe, we're giving members the freedom to create seamless journeys using Miles, whether that's travelling between major cities, connecting onwards from an Emirates or flydubai flight, or discovering somewhere new. It's all part of our commitment to offering more choice, greater value and rewarding travel experiences at every stage of the journey."
