I’ve just seen something on Emirates website that states you can have 50% extra miles for free if you are travelling with a passenger. If this means we can then have 105 miles rather than the standard 70 then it would be more cost effective for us to pay for the additional 35 miles.
Have I read this correctly or am I missing something? Has anyone done anything similar?
It was only recently picked up on this forum, so unlikely anyone many have tried it yet, but yes that’s what it says. If you share one car instead of using two you can travel 50% further if on the same itinerary.
Might be best to chat with CS on the online chat function about it, and if you are successful, please do report back.
Edit: apologies, saw thijsseh’s post only after I posted mine.
