Emirates Airlines is expecting an increase in passengers through Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.
On 16 and 17 July, a surge in passengers travelling will take place for the first since the start of the pandemic.
Individuals travelling over the weekend are encouraged to physically check in and drop their bags earlier, in order to avoid long wait times.
Passengers can check in for their flights up to 24 hours before departure, and passengers travelling to the US can check in 12 hours before departure.
All the relevant documents must be ready in line with the latest travel requirements to the booked destination including, where necessary, vaccination certificates and negative PCR tests.
Passengers need to check in 3 hours prior to departure.
Online check in is also available 48 hours before departure through the Emirates check-in counters or contactless kiosks to complete the required travel documentation checks and formalities.
