Emirates Skywards, the loyalty programme shared by Emirates and flydubai, has brought back its “Mile-A-Minute” offer for visitors to Dubai, Emirates said on 22 October.
Members earn one bonus Skywards Mile for every minute they spend in Dubai, capped at 7,200 Miles. Emirates says that cap equals five days in the city. The bonus comes on top of the Miles earned on the ticket itself. The offer was first run in 2021.
Who can use it and when
According to Emirates, members must:
- register for the offer on emirates.com, the Emirates app, flydubai.com or another eligible channel by 5 November 2026;
- book an eligible return flight on Emirates or flydubai that starts outside the UAE between 21 October and 5 November 2026;
- travel to Dubai between 21 October and 13 December 2026, staying at least 24 hours and no more than 30 days.
The offer covers all cabin classes and fare types. It is only for Skywards members who live outside the UAE, so India-based travellers qualify. People who are not members can join free and register before the booking deadline. Bonus Miles are worked out from scheduled arrival and departure times and credited after the stay. Terms and conditions apply.
For the trade
The window lines up with Dubai’s winter events season and the Diwali-to-mid-December travel period. Agents selling Dubai packages on Emirates or flydubai from India can remind clients to register before booking, because registration is a condition of the offer. Emirates also notes that members can earn Miles at partners in Dubai such as Atlantis The Palm, Arabian Adventures desert safaris and Dubai Mall.
