2014 Skywards Card & "gift"

Same again as last year??!!

Portable mobile battery charger OR Noise-isolating headphones with in-flight adaptor. Got the charger last year, never used it. Based on reports, the headphones are rubbish so what to choose. Why couldn't they come up with new gifts

Portable charger is definitely old inventory as it only works with iOS up to iPhone 4S

Thanks, but I won't be in DXB for a while now (until June!) no travel planned for the April holiday...

In June I will have a DUR-LAX, DUR-LHR and a DUR-China so plenty there.

From the EK email:

The charger comes with four adaptor pins compatible with Apple*, Blackberry, Samsung and Nokia and is also compatible with other USB-based charging devices.

* Valid up to iPhone 4S

Yes, they have different adapters for it, micro USB included. I have like 6 at home, so I can give you one if you like

Here's the IO card hasn't changed since introduction I believe... Anyone got photos of the plat card?

Not sure if IO gets a gift every year, but I got a model A380, polo shirt and a Mont Blanc passport wallet when my membership package was delivered.

IO members dont anything till renewal i guess. No birthday greetings, no anniversary wishes.. i received only a montblanc wallet... which is anyday better than the earphone when i was a platinum... certainly i was invited to a holiday party and attended an Opera show

I get something on every flight regardless if its my birthday or not but its vital to chose the flight you take and who may be operating on that flight
First time I got gold I thought, hey maybe its a good set of earphones - alas I was severely disappointed. Still - beats nothing versus another program I an enrolled in.
