Emirates, the Premier Partner and Official Airline of Expo 2020 Dubai, has launched its latest initiative under a global campaign to promote Dubai to people from all walks of life this winter season.

The airline’s Early Bird Expo 2020 Dubai deal, launched this week across its global markets, will enable customers to save up to 20 per cent on fares to Dubai when they book their flights early.

“As Dubai’s home airline, Emirates is launching a series of initiatives to make it even more compelling for travellers to plan their visit and experience Dubai. Last month, we also announced that we’ll give a free Expo Day Pass to every Emirates customer travelling to Dubai during the Expo period, and we introduced an innovative ‘mile a minute’ offer for our Skywards members. Today we are launching an early booking discount on flights to Dubai across all our markets,” said Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer.

“In the coming weeks, we plan to roll out offers tailored for families, a special Expo edition of our popular ‘My Emirates Pass’ product, a celebratory offer for the UAE’s 50th jubilee anniversary and more, so stay tuned,” added Kazim.

Emirates’ current special promotions include: Early bird discount and Free Emirates Expo Day Pass. The Early bird discount is valid on any return tickets booked to Dubai as the final destination for travel dates between September 26, 2021 and March 31, 2022. It is applicable to bookings made from September 6 to 26, 2021 via Emirates.com, through Emirates call centre or retail outlets, or via a travel agent. The offer applies to Emirates Business and Economy base fares; on Saver, Flex, Flex+ fare brands.

Emirates customers visiting and travelling through Dubai anytime during the much-awaited Expo 2020 mega event, will be eligible to receive a free Emirates Expo Day Pass for every flight ticket booked with the airline.

Emirates customers can earn 1 Skywards Mile for every 1 minute spent in Dubai between October 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022. Existing and new Emirates Skywards members who sign up for the programme before March 31, 2022, can avail the offer on Emirates.com, and will earn up to 5,000 Miles. The offer is applicable on all Emirates flight tickets purchased between August 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, for travel during Expo 2020 Dubai. Emirates‑marketed, flydubai‑operated flights with an Emirates (EK) flight number are also included in the offer.
