Alert Dubai’s leading airline, Emirates, has issued a warning to passengers about an anticipated surge at the airport set to commence in two days.
Festive Month Departures

Emirates provides passengers with the following tips to navigate the airport rush effectively:
- Early Arrival: Arrive at the airport up to 3 hours before your flight and be aware of your boarding time for timely departure.
- Check-In Options: Utilize various check-in and baggage drop options, including Emirates City Check-In, Travel Store, refurbished First and Business Class Check-In areas, private home check-in services, or remote check-in facilities.
- Digital Services: Leverage digital services such as online check-in, app check-in (available 48 hours ahead of departure), and the ability to book and modify flights, download digital boarding passes, receive flight notifications, pre-order meals in Business Class, and plan in-flight entertainment.
- Early Bag Drop: Passengers departing from Dubai can check in and drop off their bags 24 hours before departure, or 12 hours before if flying to the US. DUBZ, a service allowing early check-in and luggage drop, enables a smooth airport experience.
