As December approaches, marking a busy final month of 2023, Emirates Airline has released a travel advisory for passengers. Emirates advises travellers to plan their journeys thoughtfully due to the anticipated surge in departure numbers during the busy month, encompassing both the UAE National Day and the festive season.
Throughout most weekends in December, the airline expects over 75,000 passengers to depart from Dubai International Airport each day. Therefore, Emirates passengers are recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before their flight and pay attention to their boarding time to ensure timely arrival at the departure gate.
Here Are A Few Things That Travellers Should Follow
Install the Emirates App And Check-in Online
Install the Emirates app for easy access to flight details. Use the app to book and modify flights, obtain a digital boarding pass for most destinations, receive flight notifications, review meal details, pre-order hot meals in business class, schedule a chauffeur drive service, and even pre-select and plan inflight entertainment movies through the ICE system.
Drop Luggage Off A Day Before
Emirates travellers have the convenience of free luggage drop-off at the airport the night before their journey. For those departing from Dubai, early check-in is available, allowing passengers to drop off their bags 24 hours before departure (or 12 hours before departure when flying to the US). As departure time approaches, customers can directly proceed to the immigration area within the airport.
Swift check in at the Emirates City Check In And Travel Store
Streamline your airport experience by checking in at the Emirates City Check-In and Travel Store in ICD Brookfield Place, Dubai International Financial Centre. Situated in the bustling business district, this facility allows Emirates customers to check in, drop off luggage, and bask in the sophisticated ambience as early as 24 hours and up to 4 hours before their flight. Checking in is available daily from 8am to 10pm, providing added convenience for travellers.
Check in from your own home
Dubai and Sharjah passengers can enjoy the convenience of checking in from home with DUBZ. Agents handle the check-in process at the customer's location and transport the bags to the flight, allowing passengers to navigate the airport hassle-free later on. The service can be booked at least 24 hours before the flight, and passengers can head to the airport check-in up to six hours before departure.
Besides this, customers who wish to save even more time can pre-order Duty-Free Shopping on Emirates Red website and get access to exclusive Duty-Free products, which are then delivered to their seat in the air.
