01Overview
About the Emirates affiliate program
Emirates is one of the world's largest long-haul airlines, flying from its Dubai hub to well over a hundred destinations across six continents. It is known for its premium cabins, the A380 fleet, generous baggage allowances and Skywards loyalty program, and it is a common choice for connections between Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Flight bookings are high-value, considered purchases, and travellers often compare routes and fares for days before booking, so a 30-day cookie gives content time to work. The payout rises with the fare, which means long-haul and premium cabin content earns the most per booking.
Emirates pays more on long-haul and premium cabin fares than on short routes, so cabin reviews and destination guides for long trips earn the most per booking through LinkApprove.

Travel
How Emirates compares in its category
Travel commissions are validated on completed stay rather than booking, which means longer hold periods, 60 to 90 days is normal. In exchange, the vertical has the longest cookie windows in the directory and very high order values.

Which countries does the Emirates affiliate program accept?
The Emirates program accepts traffic from Worldwide. Traffic from outside these regions may not be attributed even when the click is tracked, so check your audience geography before committing content to it.
Do premium cabin bookings pay more on Emirates?
Yes. The payout rises with the fare, so business and first class bookings earn far more than short economy trips.

Premium cabin reviews, A380 experiences and long-haul destination guides, because higher fares earn larger payouts.
When do searches for the Emirates program peak?
From October to January, as travellers plan winter sun and holiday trips.
