As with any busy travel period, Emirates is reminding customers to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before flight departure, and plan extra time to get to the airport. Check-in is available up to 24 hours before flight departures out of Dubai.
Customers are also urged to check-in online, use the convenient Self Service Kiosks or baggage drop facilities to expedite their airport experience. Those checking in online are required to check in their luggage no later than 90 minutes prior to departure. Customers holding an e-boarding pass and travelling with carry-on bags only, can proceed directly to passport control and security clearance.
Customers who check-in less than 60 minutes to their scheduled flight departure will not be accepted. These time checks will ensure the minimization of delays and missed connections. Transit passengers from flights arriving late into Dubai will be escorted by Emirates’ airport staff to ensure they make their onward connections.
Customers travelling to the United States, Canada and the UK are reminded to charge their electronic devices before getting to the airport, as they will be required to switch on these devices at the relevant boarding gates where screenings will take place, or risk being denied access to fly.
Key time checks for Emirates passengers:
• Check in no later than 90 minutes prior to departure, regardless of class of travel
• Customers who have checked in online are also required to check in their luggage 90 minutes before flight departure
• Customers are advised to go through security checks no later than 60 minutes before flight departure
• Boarding on all flights begins 45 minutes prior to departure, and gates in all concourses close 20 minutes prior to departure
