You earn Points with Emirates based on the type of fare and the distance you fly. So the further you go, the more Points you earn! Just check at the time of booking to confirm that your preferred class of travel is eligible.
How many Velocity Points do I earn?
The table below shows the amount of Points per mile you earn for each type of fare.
| Fare type | Earn rate per mile^ |
|---|---|
| Discounted Economy (W, M, B, K, Q, L, T, V, G, H, E, U, R, X, O) | 0.5 Point |
| Full Economy (Y) | 1 Point |
| Business Class (J, C, I) | 1.25 Points |
| First Class (F, A, P) | 1.5 Points |
For single sector distances of less than 500 miles your Velocity Points calculation will be based on 500 miles flown. So if you fly 480 miles on a Discounted Economy fare you’ll receive 250 Points (500 x 50% = 250).
Some examples of how many Points you could earn on return flights include:
