Emirates Skywards, the loyalty programme of Emirates and flydubai, has relaunched its ‘Mile-A-Minute’ offer, rewarding members with one Skywards Mile for every minute spent in Dubai, up to a maximum of 7,200 bonus Miles.
The limited-time promotion coincides with the city’s winter season of festivals, events and outdoor experiences. It was first introduced in 2021.

The bonus Miles are earned on top of those collected on eligible Emirates and flydubai tickets. The offer applies across all cabin classes and fare types.
How much can you earn?
The 7,200-Mile cap equals 120 hours, or five days, in Dubai. Members staying longer can still earn the maximum, while shorter city breaks and stopovers earn Miles for the time spent.
The offer is open to Emirates Skywards members residing outside the UAE. To qualify, members must:
Register by November 5, 2026, through Emirates and flydubai’s websites and app
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, staying a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 30 days.
Bonus Miles will be calculated from scheduled arrival and departure times in Dubai and credited automatically after the stay. Travellers who are not yet members can join Skywards for free and register before the booking deadline.

Visitors can also collect Miles through Skywards partners in the city:
