If you have a flight scheduled with Emirates from Dubai between now and next August 15, you should definitely read this article, because depending on your status with Emirates' Skywards program you could put enough points in your pocket to get a free upgrade to first class.

To lighten the load at check-in counters at Dubai Airport, the airline has launched a promotion that allows passengers to earn bonus points if they conduct baggage check-in operations in the city, taking advantage of the special desks at the ICD Brookfield Place.
It is available from 24 hours before take-off to 4 hours before the flight, at the Emirates City Check-in and Travel Store which is open daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Promotion
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
What is doubly interesting is that the credited miles will also be qualifying, that is, useful for status renewal. Depending on the status held you will get the following bonuses:
- 5,000 Bonus Level Miles - Blue and Silver Members
- 10,000 Bonus Tier Miles - Gold Members
- 30,000 Bonus Level Miles - Platinum Members
Unfortunately, the promotion is only valid once, otherwise it would have made sense to take 10 flights, round trip to Muscat and take home thousands and thousands of points.
