Here are some tips to help you breeze through:

  • If you’re flying Emirates, use their home and early check-in options. They also have city check-ins to make things easier.
  • For flydubai travelers, it’s best to arrive at least four hours before your flight.
  • If you’re flying with another airline, aim to get to DXB no more than three hours before your flight. Online check-in can save you time too!
  • Know your airline’s rules for baggage and packing. Check ahead so you’re not caught off guard.
  • At security, be ready by putting metal items like watches and phones in your carry-on. Follow the rules for liquids and gels too.
  • Families with older kids can use Smart Gates for quicker passport checks.
  • Make sure you have all your travel documents ready and know the rules for your destination.
  • Get organized early by weighing your bags at home to avoid surprises at the airport.
  • Pack extra batteries and power banks in your carry-on for your devices.
  • Save goodbyes for home—only travelers can go inside during busy times.
