Can I book an Emirates reward flight for someone else?

Emirates Airlines is quite popular because of its luxurious flight services and flies to many destinations. Booking your Emirates tickets using reward miles for particular destinations seems more surprising, but it is now possible when you have enough Miles in your Skyward accounts. But, some of you still think, "Can I book an Emirates reward flight for someone else?" using the same miles, and how to do it conveniently? Generally, Emirates is one of those airlines that offer flight booking facilities to friends and families using the miles you have available in your Skyward accounts. To book the airline tickets for your close ones, you should first redeem all available miles points from Emirates Skyward accounts, which are equivalent to some amounts.

Can an Emirates ticket be transferred to another person?

You cannot transfer the Emirates Airlines confirmed flight to other passengers by changing the name on the tickets. As per Emirates Airlines's strict policy, transferring confirmed tickets is prohibited in every way, and you cannot get any transferable tickets option on its official page. However, you can cancel the existing tickets and book new ones for any of your associated passengers, including your friends or families. Also, during the flight cancellation, some penalties will be included on the Emirates tickets, depending on the situation.

Otherwise, you may contact Emirates Airlines customer executives and share the reasons for the name change. The representatives will take steps accordingly or allow partial names only to eligible passengers with some conditions.

Can I claim Emirates miles for someone else?
