Emirates Advises to Arrive 3 Hours in Advance from 19th November

Emirates recommends passengers arrive to the airport 3 hours in advance of their flight, as well as taking advantage of multiple services that enhance seamless travel.

From the 19th of November onwards, Dubai will begin to see a surge in inbound traffic, including visitors for winter events.

Here are options to save time.

  • Plan everything on the Emirates App
  • Check in online, or remotely in Ajman
  • Sort your luggage out in advance or check in from home
  • Self Check-in kiosks at the airport
  • Get smart with Biometrics

For First and Business Class customers departing Dubai, the Smart Tunnel at Dubai International Airport is a world-first for passport control, whereby passengers simply walk through a tunnel and are cleared by immigration authorities without human intervention or the need for a physical passport stamp. All it takes to register is a quick photo at check-in to capture facial data. Travellers can check-in, clear immigration, access the airport lounge in Concourse B, and board flights at selected gates purely by facial recognition or using their boarding pass.

Passengers can also register to use the Smart Gates at Emirates Terminal 3 and speed through Immigration every time they return to Dubai. If a UAE citizen or resident, passengers can use their passport, boarding pass or a valid UAE ID. Smart Gates can also be used by GCC national’s or a visa on arrival visitor with a biometric passport.
