Emirates Skywards status tiers

Skywards tiers are earned on Tier Miles or flights over a 12-month period from the day you join or upgrade, on Emirates and flydubai. Emirates belongs to no alliance; its tiers unlock its own lounges rather than an alliance's. Confirm current thresholds on emirates.com.
