Frequent flyers with Emirates already have it good. That's a given. And now their loyalty is giving them even more.
As of Monday May 26, those who are signed up to the Emirates Skywards loyalty programme can use their points to pay for live concerts, comedy shows and sporting events at Coca-Cola Arena.
Emirates' loyalty scheme already includes amazing experiences across the globe but this now means that travellers are able to spend their miles on top Dubai events.
With a capacity of 17,000, the Coca-Cola Arena in City Walk plays host to the city's biggest live events every year.
Many of the Dubai Comedy Festival line-up will perform at the arena, as well as pop stars, Bollywood icons and even the Dubai Basketball team.
Starting from 5,000 miles, Emirates Skywards members can now bid or redeem miles for a pair of hospitality tickets with premium seats and the best panoramic views of the stage.

Emirates issues travel advice ahead of peak Eid Al Adha travel period
Emirates has issued important travel advice ahead of a peak travel period for the airline. Between Sunday June 1 and Monday June 9, it's expected to be busy for anyone flying with Dubai's biggest airline from DXB ahead of the Eid Al Adha holiday. Thousands of people will be flying with Emirates to make the most of the extended break in Dubai. In a statement on the Emirates website, travellers have been urged to plan ahead to avoid delays and to arrive early at Dubai International Airport's Terminal 3. Travellers are asked to arrive up to three hours before their flight departs and to take note of their boarding times to make sure they reach the departure gate on time. The peak travel period comes in the lead-up to the four-day long weekend for Eid Al Adha and lasts until a day after the official holiday ends. Travel advisory statements come during the busiest travel periods at the world's busiest international airport.

Passengers can also check in from home, office or hotel when staying in Dubai or Sharjah, agents will pick up any luggage at least 24 hours before a flight. Check-in can also be completed online or via the Emirates app and you can pick up a digital boarding pass. Checking in early ensures that you avoid long queues at the airport before making it through security and also means that you can travel more hassle-free. Anyone flying with Emirates has been advised to clear passport control and security 90 minutes before their departure time and reach their gate no later than an hour before their flight if booked in premium economy or economy class.
