Skywards?!
Hey guys,

I need to book a trip HAM-->DXB-->BNE. I am FO at SA & ST but have no Skywards miles at all, is there any way to do something useful with the miles?

Can I transfer other points/miles in order to receive upgrades?

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Go onto the Skywards website and you can buy upto 25,000 miles.

Or goto www.souq.com and search for skywards there. You can usually buy miles/upgrades for your trip on there.

Good Luck
