It is always commendable when programs announce changes to reward prices in advance.

But when Emirates announces changes starting from May 20 without providing any further details, the practical value is very limited. Especially in the current situation, it is up to each individual to speculate in which direction the Skywards rewards will go. However, if Emirates was planning a fundamental price reduction, it would probably have been communicated differently.
In the last price adjustment, award levels in Economy Class were lowered, while awards in Business and First Class became more expensive.
