Free hotel stay in Dubai: Emirates launches massive promotion for transit passengers

Emirates has announced the launch of an attractive new promotion for travelers. Passengers booking tickets to Dubai or selecting flights with a long layover (stopover) in the megacity will be able to stay at high-end city hotels completely free of charge.

Terms and dates of the promotion

The offer is valid for all customers who purchase round-trip or transit tickets between June 22 and July 12, 2026. The travel window itself must fall between June 25 and September 30, 2026.

The main requirement for transit passengers is that the layover time in Dubai must exceed 24 hours. The duration of the complimentary stay directly depends on the chosen class of service:

• First and Business Class: Passengers receive two nights of complimentary accommodation at the luxurious, five-star JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai.

• Premium Economy and Economy Class: Passengers are provided with one night of complimentary accommodation at the same hotel.

The JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai is located in the prestigious Business Bay district. The hotel is renowned for its international restaurants, bars, luxury spa complex, state-of-the-art gym, and an outdoor pool offering panoramic views of the city.

How to redeem the offer

The complimentary stay is not booked automatically upon purchasing a flight ticket. After finalizing the flight booking, passengers must contact Emirates representatives directly (or fill out a dedicated form on the website), providing the following details:

1. Booking reference (PNR);

2. Arrival date in Dubai;

3. Passengers' personal information.

The hotel booking request must be submitted at least 96 hours prior to the scheduled arrival in Dubai. Room availability is subject to hotel vacancy on the specific dates and is regulated by the airline's internal policies.
