Dubai: Emirates Skywards, the loyalty programme of Emirates and flydubai, is bringing back its popular Mile-A-Minute offer, rewarding members with one Skywards Mile for every minute spent in Dubai, up to 7,200 bonus Miles.
As Dubai welcomes its winter season of festivals, events and outdoor experiences, the limited-time offer adds an extra reward for international visitors enjoying a holiday or stopover in the city. First introduced in 2021, the initiative returns, allowing members to earn bonus Miles on top of those earned on eligible Emirates and flydubai flight tickets.
From discovering Dubai’s cultural landmarks and world-class attractions to enjoying its diverse dining, shopping and entertainment experiences, members can make the most of their time in the city while getting closer to their next Skywards reward.
Make every minute in Dubai count
Emirates Skywards members who register and book an eligible return flight with Emirates or flydubai between October 21 and November 5, 2026, for travel between October 21 and December 13, 2026, can earn one bonus Skywards Mile for every minute spent in Dubai.
Whether enjoying a short city break, a family holiday or an extended stopover, members can earn up to 7,200 bonus Skywards Miles, equivalent to five days spent in Dubai. The offer is available across all cabin classes and fare types on Emirates and flydubai.
Earn even more Miles
Beyond the Mile-A-Minute offer, Emirates Skywards members can continue to earn Miles through the programme’s extensive network of hotel, retail and lifestyle partners across Dubai.
Travellers staying at Atlantis The Palm can earn Skywards Miles on eligible hotel stays. Those looking to explore the city’s desert landscapes and cultural attractions can earn or spend Miles on selected desert safaris and sightseeing tours with Arabian Adventures.
Shopping enthusiasts can also collect Miles on eligible purchases at Dubai Mall, home to a wide selection of international brands, dining venues and entertainment attractions.
For everyday purchases, members can download the Skywards Everyday app, save up to five payment cards and earn Miles at hundreds of participating brands across the UAE, spanning dining, shopping, wellness, leisure and more.
With multiple opportunities to earn Miles throughout their visit, members can enjoy additional rewards beyond the bonus Miles earned through the Mile-A-Minute campaign.
Turn Miles into memorable experiences
Skywards Miles can be redeemed for flight tickets and upgrades on Emirates and flydubai, hotel stays and exclusive experiences through Skywards Exclusives. Members can also use Cash + Miles to reduce the cost of their next flight or on the Skywards Rail network in Europe.
From their next getaway to an unforgettable live event, every Mile earned brings members closer to a world of rewards.
To participate, members must:
- Register for the offer through emirates.com, the Emirates App, flydubai.com or other eligible registration channels by November 5, 2026.
- Book an eligible return flight originating outside the UAE between October 21 and November 5, 2026.
- Travel to Dubai between October 21 and December 13, 2026, with a minimum stay of 24 hours and a maximum stay of 30 days.
Bonus Miles will be calculated based on scheduled arrival and departure times in Dubai and automatically credited to eligible members after their stay. The offer is available to Emirates Skywards members residing outside the UAE. Travellers who are not yet members can join the loyalty programme free of charge and register for the promotion before the booking deadline.
