Emirates sizzles with shoppers in Harare

Two tickets to Dubai on offer in weekend prize draw
 
HARARE - Sky-high temperatures failed to deter shoppers in Harare at the weekend as they stopped at a special Emirates stand to discover more about the airline's products and services.

More than 200 people Westgate Mall entered the Emirates raffle draw to stand a chance of winning two Economy Class return tickets to Dubai.

And for those who missed the draw, there is a second chance to participate next weekend (November 23 and 24) when the Emirates team will be greeting shoppers at Sam Levy's Village. Entrants are being asked to answer three simple questions about the airline, and their answers will be entered the draw for the tickets.

Shoppers also have the opportunity to learn more about Emirates' Skywards frequent flyer programme, which offers lounge, ticket and shopping benefits, and they will be able to sign up for Skywards on the spot, as well as book tickets for any travel they are planning.

The Emirates team will also be talking about what Dubai has to offer as a leading leisure and business destination that has something to offer everyone.

Joining Emirates Skywards is free and members receive benefits every time they fly. There are four membership tiers - Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum.  Benefits for Skywards members include travel and lifestyle rewards, priority check-in, lounge access, extra baggage allowance and bonus Miles, depending on the membership tier.

Members earn Skywards Miles when they fly on Emirates and partner airlines and through a wide range of leisure and lifestyle partners. Skywards Miles can then be redeemed for a range of rewards such as flights on Emirates and other partner airlines including Qantas, easyJet, TAP, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines, and for flight upgrades, hotel accommodation, excursions with Arabian Adventures, and car rentals.

Miles can be used for tickets to major sporting event and concerts. Members can also choose to donate their Miles to a range of charity partners including The Emirates Airline Foundation and Sightsavers.
 
Redemption opportunities are consistently being expanded.
