Kicking off the new year with a miles boost, Emirates has launched a Boxing Day double miles promotion exclusively for flights originating from the UK.
The Offer
- Earn double Skywards Miles on any flight booked from the UK
- Valid on all fare types and all cabin classes (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, First)
- Applies to departures from all eight UK gateways: Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, Manchester, and Newcastle
- No promo code required—just register here and book
Key Dates
- Booking window: December 26–31, 2025
- Travel period: January 1 – March 31, 2026
Good to Know
- You must be an Emirates Skywards member to participate. If you’re not already enrolled, you can sign up for free during registration
- The double miles apply to the base earning rate for your fare class—Flex fares will still earn more than Saver fares, but both get the 2x multiplier
- Emirates flies to over 150 destinations from the UK, so there’s plenty of scope for Q1 travel planning whether you’re eyeing the Maldives, Dubai, or further afield
The Verdict
This is a solid, straightforward offer. Double miles on any cabin class with no blackout dates during the travel window is genuinely useful—especially if you’re already planning a Q1 trip. The booking window is tight at just six days, so you’ll need to move quickly if something catches your eye.
Bottom Line
If you’re flying Emirates from the UK in early 2026, there’s no reason not to register. The bonus miles stack nicely whether you’re chasing status or saving for a future redemption.
