Emirates is celebrating their upcoming Montreal to Dubai route with a route launch bonus of double Skywards miles. The airline launches their newest Canadian route on July 5 and members will earn double miles on flights from that date through to September 30.
To receive the bonus you must be a Skywards member (free to join) and register for this offer via the link below. The bonus is awarded on all Skywards mileage earning fares including Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First Class fares. A key term of the offer is that it must involve flight EK243 which is from Dubai to Montreal. With those terms it does seem like you could fly Toronto to Dubai (or anywhere else in the EK network) and fly on EK243 from DXB to YUL on your return and you’ll earn double miles on your entire routing.
The Double Skywards Miles offer
Earn Double Skywards Miles when you fly on Emirates to or from Montreal to or from any destination in the Emirates network as long as you have flight EK243 (Dubai to Montreal) as part of your itinerary. Register & book by Aug 5 for travel Jul 5 – Sep 30, 23. Click here to register for this offer and to book your flights with Emirates. (Registration is required)
Paying for your Emirates flights
As Emirates does not have a co-branded credit card in Canada, when booking these flights you’ll want to be sure to use a credit card with a travel multiplier such as the American Express Cobalt® Card, HSBC World Elite® Mastercard® or the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card
Wrapping it up
Emirates is celebrating the launch of their new Montreal with a double Skywards Miles bonus for the first three months of the flights. Members simply need to register for the offer prior to booking and flying with Emirates. You can also choose to credit these flights to Air Canada’s Aeroplan program although you won’t receive the double miles bonus. However, if Aeroplan is your primary program it may make more sense to credit to Aeroplan if you know you won’t be flying with Emirates frequently enough to earn enough miles in their Skywards program to redeem for flights.
