Emirates passengers to win spectacular take-off in 2007

Take OFF: Travellers out of Colombo on Emirates in the new year will be accorded a spectacular take off with the launch of a mega on-line booking promotion by the award-winning Dubai-based carrier.

A 750,000 Skywards Miles are up for grabs for Sri Lankans who book their travel on-line via www.emirates.com/lk until 30th March 2007, with three winning chances every month.

This amazing opportunity to accrue Skywards Miles from the airline's frequent flyer programme is open to Skywards Members as well as non-members who will automatically be enrolled as Skywards Members when they book their travel on-line during this period.

"By all expectations, 2007 is going to be a momentous year for Emirates, and this generous offer reflects our anticipation and excitement as the new year dawns." Emirates Sales Manager in Colombo Devika Ellepola said. "This is a fabulous opportunity for our customers to start their travel on a high note."

All passengers who book travel on Emirates on-line in each of the three months of the promotion will be entitled to participate in a draw at the end of each month. The first prize at these draws will be 100,000 Skywards Miles, while the second and third prizes will each be 75,000 Skywards Miles.

To win these prizes, the on-line booking must culminate in travel on Emirates during the three months of the promotion. Travel on code-share flights (designated by a four-digit flight number) is not eligible for this promotion.

The Skywards Miles won can be redeemed for free air tickets or many other benefits offered by Skywards, including upgrades, hotel accommodation, excursions, exclusive shopping, and fine dining.
