Review: Emirates Business Class Lounge Concourse B – Dubai International Airport (DXB) Terminal 3

March 15, 2018 by Bino Leave a Comment

My recent flights with Emirates to Mauritius and Seychelles gave me the opportunity to spend a couple of hours at Dubai International Airport. It had been some 6 years since I last flew with Emirates and during that interim, Terminal 3 opened with a whole slew of airport lounges. DXB’s Terminal 3 which is dedicated to Emirates flights has three varying Business Class Lounges at Concourse A, B and C respectively.

How To Earn Up to 5 Skywards Miles Per $1 With Mileslife

November 21, 2017 by Bino Leave a Comment

I first wrote about Mileslife when it made its debut here in Singapore. In the few months since then, their list of dining and lifestyle merchants has expanded and now include some of the most well-known restaurants in Singapore. One of the earliest merchants to accept Mileslife was Crystal Jade – probably the most recognizable Chinese restaurant chain in Singapore with dozens of branches and sub-brands within the country. I recently paid them a visit with the intention of using Mileslife as it adds Emirates Skywards as its newest frequent flyer programme in its list of partners.

For every $1 spent, members will earn up to 5 Skywards Miles and an additional bonus based on their Emirates Skywards tier. Emirates Skywards Silver members earn 25% bonus Miles on every purchase, Gold members earn 50% bonus Miles while Platinum members earn 75% bonus Miles. The tiered bonus is unique to the Emirates Skywards programme.

There is also an ongoing promotion which allows Mileslife users to earn triple Skywards Miles on all spends until 30 November 2017 when selecting Emirates Skywards as their frequent flyer programme (FFP) of choice.

Emirates Skywards, the frequent flyer programme of Emirates, has partnered with Mileslife, the app that allows earning of miles through lifestyle and dining purchases. A few months ago, I wrote about Mileslife and how they have compelling dining and lifestyle partners such as Crystal Jade and the restaurants at Capella Singapore. Payments using the app at these establishments allow for earning of miles with a number of airline frequent flyer programmes (i.e. you can earn anywhere from 1 to 5 miles per S$ spent at these dining or lifestyle partners).
