For an instant discount with no annual fee, the Emirates Islamic Amazon World card gives 25% off flights on MakeMyTrip. For cashback on any airline, ADCB Traveller returns 10%. For Emirates miles, pick ENBD Skywards Infinite.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which credit card gives the best discount on flight booking in the UAE?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On percentage alone, the Emirates Islamic Amazon World card\u2019s 25% is highest, but it caps at AED 150 per booking and works once a month. ADCB\u2019s 10% has a ceiling of AED 1,500 a month, so it can save more on big or frequent bookings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How do I get a 50% discount on flight booking?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No UAE credit card offers a flat 50% off fares. The closest option is a free welcome return flight from FAB Travel or RAKBANK, or miles from a Skywards card that can cover a whole ticket. You can also book a sale fare and pay with a card that adds its own discount.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which card has a discount on Emirates flights?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Savings on Emirates flights mostly come from rewards, not an instant fare cut. ENBD Skywards Infinite earns 2 miles per USD on Emirates spend, ADCB Traveller gives 10% cashback on any airline, and several banks offer three-month instalments through Fly Now, Pay Down the Line.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Which credit card has flight offers and no annual fee?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Emirates Islamic Amazon World card has no annual fee and carries the 25% MakeMyTrip flight offer. The RAKBANK Air Arabia Platinum card has no joining fee, though an annual fee may apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Are Emirates instalments really interest-free?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the three payments carry zero profit. Some banks charge a one-time processing fee, such as AED 49 with Emirates NBD or AED 52.50 with ADCB.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flights make up a major chunk of travel
