See ICC World Test Championship cricket with Emirates Skywards miles

Emirates Skywards is offering tickets for the final of the ICC World Test Championship cricket at The Oval.

Running from 7th to 9th June (well, 11th June but Emirates is only offering the first three days) you can watch India take on Australia in the final of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship cycle to decide who is the best test match team in the world.

Standard tickets cost between 12,000 and 15,000 Emirates Skywards miles depending on the day.

Hospitality packages are also available for 35,000 to 40,000 Emirates Skywards miles. However, there is zero information – zilch – on what these actually include or where you will be sat so it is difficult to recommend them.

Remember that Emirates Skywards is a 1:1 transfer partner with American Express Membership Rewards (earned primarily from Preferred Rewards Gold and The Platinum Card). Points should transfer instantly to Emirates although if it is your first transfer there may be a short (hours, not days) delay.

You can find out more about the ICC tickets on this page of the Emirates website.
