Dubai, UAE, 22 October 2026: Emirates Skywards, the award-winning 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 popular initiative returns with an opportunity for 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 21 October and 5 November 2026, for travel between 21 October and 13 December 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, while those looking to discover 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 an extensive selection of international brands, dining destinations and entertainment experiences.
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.
