Skywards + EasyJet + Finland?
Just come to try to use my Skywards points on an EasyJet flight for the first time.
Trying to book MAN -> RVN, but it doesn’t come up as an option in the Emirates/EasyJet portal.
Are only certain destinations available, or is this a glitch?

The flight exists on the EasyJet website.
In the portal, you enter destination first and date second. It is an auto-complete form, you type R...O...V... into the field and the only thing that comes up is Dubrovnik.

Would this not be something to do with the number of days out for booking? Some airlines operate at 355 days, others less.

From playing around with the page, every other location I tried worked.
I was expecting an answer of “it only works where it is the nearest connection to an Emirates mainline route” or something like that, but I guess that’s not the case?

I have found an answer to my original question, will leave here in case it helps people in future.
The EasyJet flights are only loaded 6 months in advance into the Emirates system.
Also to help out others, just don’t bother - I have been doing dummy bookings. Around £2,500 of value of Skywards points spent with Emirates has around £300 of value spent with EasyJet

That surprises me. I remember checking it out when they first became available and the value was about the same as upgrading from Y-J on EK.
