Emirates Skywards, the loyalty programme of Emirates and flydubai, has brought back its “Mile-a-Minute” offer, which gives members one bonus Skywards Mile for every minute they spend in Dubai, up to 7,200 miles, the airline said.
According to a press release, the offer is meant for international visitors on a holiday or stopover as Dubai enters its winter of festivals and events. It was first introduced in 2021. The bonus miles are on top of those earned on eligible Emirates and flydubai tickets, the airline said.
To take part, members must register for the offer and book an eligible return flight with Emirates or flydubai between Oct 21 and Nov 5, 2026. The flight must start outside the UAE, and travel must take place between Oct 21 and Dec 13, 2026, the release said. The stay in Dubai must be at least 24 hours and no more than 30 days.
The maximum of 7,200 bonus miles equals five days in the city, Emirates said. The offer covers all cabin classes and fare types on both airlines.
Bonus miles will be calculated based on scheduled arrival and departure times in Dubai and will be credited automatically after the stay, the airline said. The offer is open to Skywards members who live outside the UAE. Travellers who are not yet members can join the programme free of charge and register before the booking deadline.
Emirates said members can also earn miles on eligible purchases through partners in Dubai, including Atlantis The Palm, Arabian Adventures, Dubai Mall and the Skywards Everyday app. Miles can be spent on flights and upgrades, hotel stays and experiences, or used through its Cash + Miles option to lower the cost of a flight, it said.
