Each piece can only promote once. The Magic Flying Carpet squares can only move to spaces in rows 3-7 (and only in columns A or K), therefore if a Pawn or General rides a Flying Carpet square as far as it can take them they will still be at least one move (for a General)or two moves (for a Pawn) away from promoting.
