The Melbourne Cup Carnival is a world-class horserace event that has been sponsored by Emirates for 10 years. The
carnival features the finest racing, entertainment, fashion, culture, food and wine. It is unrivalled in its prestige
and tradition and is Australia’s sports event of the year.
All tickets are offered at a first-come first-served basis. Bookings can be done from now until October 23 in the
Emirates Skywards Section on www.emirates.com/nz by logging into the Emirates Skywards member section.
“Emirates Skywards members have the unique opportunity to use their Miles to experience Australia’s most well-known and
loved racing event. It’s a race that stops the nation and is not to be missed,” said Bryan Banston, Emirates vice
president Australasia.
“The Emirates Melbourne Cup redemption offer takes Emirates Skywards members beyond travel to a richer, multi-textured
experience, creating a more rewarding frequent flyer programme.”
Joining Emirates Skywards is free and members receive benefits every time they fly on one of Emirates’ 28 weekly flights
from New Zealand, connecting Auckland and Christchurch to 134 destinations. There are four membership tiers – Blue,
Silver, Gold and Platinum. Benefits for Skywards members include travel and lifestyle rewards, priority check-in, lounge
access, extra baggage allowance and bonus Miles, depending on the membership tier.
Members earn Skywards Miles when they fly on Emirates and partner airlines and through a wide range of partner
businesses. Skywards Miles can then be redeemed for a range of rewards such as flights on Emirates and other partner
airlines including Qantas, hotel accommodation, excursions with Arabian Adventures, and car rentals. Members can also
choose to donate their Miles to a range of charity partners including The Emirates Airline Foundation and Sightsavers.
Redemption opportunities are consistently being expanded.
