Each family account can have up to eight members and each member can pool up to 100% of their miles earned on Emirates flights, adjusting their contribution at any time.
"The new enriched ‘My Family’ programme will provide our members with a better, more intuitive customer experience, allowing them to consolidate up to 100% of Skywards Miles earned on Emirates to reap faster rewards as well as tailor the proposition to meet their travel needs," said Dr Nejib Ben Khedher, senior vice president, Emirates Skywards.
