Getting Silver status after 25 Emirates flights question?
Hi
I'm interested to know about "After reeling in 25,000 Tier Miles or taking 25 Emirates flights" - To get silver membership
Eg if I make a return booking from Sydney to Manchester its
- Flight 1 - Sydney > Dubai
- Flight 2 - Dubai > Manchester
- Flight 3 - Manchester > Dubai
- Flight 4 - Dubai > Sydney
So that's total 4 separate flights.
So doe's that count as 4 flights off the "taking 25 flights"
OR really doe's it just count as 1 flight as its 1 return booking?
Thanks
James

AFAIK each sector is considered as separate. But it does not matter even if it doesnt . I'll explain
Even on a Y saver ticket, You will get silver status long before completing 6 return journeys on that route .
MAN SYD return will give you 9000 tier miles even on a saver ticket. Therefore only 3 returns are needed for Silver.

As per this FAQ, only O/D flights get counted for tier qualification, not stopovers/sectors.

What does a qualifying flight mean when referring to tier qualification?
A ‘qualifying flight’ is a flight from origin to destination, either on Emirates or a codeshare flight marketed by Emirates but operated by another airline.
Your origin is the airport where you start your journey, and your destination is the final airport where you complete your journey. So a qualifying flight could be a complete inbound or outbound journey, or a one-way flight. Stopovers are not counted as a destination.

Once you have reached a new tier you have a fixed 12-month period in which to earn the Tier Miles you need to keep your status. During this time, you would need to save 25,000 Tier Miles or take 25 qualifying flights to remain in Silver, 50,000 Tier Miles or 50 qualifying flights to remain in Gold and 150,000 Tier Miles to remain in Platinum.
