Emirates to auction rare, limited Skywards 20-year platinum memberships for charity

The Emirates Airline Foundation and Emirates Auction have launched an exclusive online auction offering rare Emirates Skywards membership numbers with Platinum tier status benefits valid for up to 20 years starting at AED70,000.
