More than 300,000 travellers are expected to travel through Dubai International Airport (DXB) Terminal 3 this weekend, starting April 18 until Monday, April 20, Emirates said on Friday.
“With expected traffic congestion in and around Terminal 3, (we) advise customers to arrive at the airport early and ensure all travel documents are ready to avoid potential delays,” the Dubai-based carrier added.
To save time, travellers can choose from a variety of check-in options including online check-in on emirates.com or via the Emirates App 48 hours before their departure, where they will receive a digital boarding pass.
Check-in counters at Terminal 3 will open 24 hours before flight departure (12 hours for US-bound flights). Passengers can also drop off their bags the night before or check in earlier to skip queues and head straight to immigration. They can also use the biometric gates for faster clearance.
There are also options available for Emirates customers, including:
- City Check-In & Travel Store at ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC, open for check-in from 24 hours up to 4 hours before departure (excluding US-bound flights).
- Ajman Central Bus Terminal – check-in available from 24 hours up to 4 hours before departure.
Passengers are required to clear passport control and security at least 90 minutes before departure.
Those traveling in premium economy or economy class should arrive at the boarding gate no later than 60 minutes prior to departure. Meanwhile, first class and business class passengers should be at the gate at least 45 minutes before departure.
Boarding gates will close 20 minutes before the flight departs, and late arrivals will not be accepted for travel. Check-in and gate closure timings will be strictly followed to ensure flights depart on schedule.
