DXB Airport's Tips For Travellers
- Emirates passengers can utilise the airline’s convenient home, early, and self-check-in options, including city check-in facilities.
- Flydubai passengers should aim to arrive at least four hours before departure.
- DXB advices that travellers flying with other airlines should arrive at DXB no more than three hours before their scheduled departure time and use online check-in where available to save time.
- The airport also urges travellers to familiarise themselves with baggage allowance and packing regulations to avoid last-minute surprises. It advises that travellers should place metal items like watches, jewellery, mobile phones, coins, and belts in their hand luggage and follow guidelines for carrying liquids, aerosols, and gels.
DXB Advises People To Use Dubai Metro To Beat The Traffic
DXB suggests that travellers should use the Dubai Metro to get to and from the airport and between Terminals 1 and 3 to avoid road congestion. Besides this, the authorities also suggest that it's better to organise your travel documents and weigh your luggage at home to avoid surprises.
Lastly, the airport gives a reminder that access to the arrivals forecourts at Terminals 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and authorised airport vehicles only.
