Emirates Airlines has urged passengers to take time to plan their travel journey this season of Eid as departure numbers increase significantly just before Eid al Adha celebration and today July 1, 2023 as many families set off on summer holidays.
According to the airline managers who urged passengers to arrive at the airport three hours before a flight, said “take note of your boarding time to ensure they reach the departure gate on time, and take advantage of multiple check-in and baggage drop options to reduce time at the airport.”
To save time, passengers have been advised to drop off luggage at the airport the night before travel at no charge. Passengers who are departing from Dubai can check-in early and drop off their bags 24 hours before departure, or 12 hours before departure if flying to the United States or Tel Aviv. Then closer to departure time, they can arrive at the airport and proceed directly to immigration.
“People of determination can access dedicated support from trained Emirates and airport staff when travelling over the summer period. This includes a pre-planning guide for Dubai International Airport (DXB) for those with hidden disabilities, two hours complimentary parking at the airport and access to a dedicated priority lane for check-in, passport control, security and priority boarding if required.”
