Hey,

from the EK FAQ

Can I purchase additional Miles?

If you find you haven't earned quite enough Miles for the reward you want, you can top up your Miles total, simply by purchasing additional Miles* from Skywards service centres, in Colombo, Dubai, Manchester and Melbourne. The cost is just US$ 2.5 cents per Mile with a minimum purchase of 2,000 Miles or a maximum of 25,000 Miles in a calendar year.

Please note that these purchased Skywards Miles are non-refundable and must be purchased at least 48 hrs before your booking.

2,000 Skywards Miles = US$ 50
5,000 Skywards Miles = US$ 125
10,000 Skywards Miles = US$ 250
25,000 Skywards Miles = US$ 625

* Please note tier miles cannot be purchased.

Don't worry .... it's quite hard to find to find it on the website ... far more difficult than it should be
