Emirates expects higher than normal passenger
traffic on its flights this upcoming weekend, as travelers head home or abroad
for the summer holiday season.
Over 62,000 travelers
will board an Emirates flight from Dubai on Friday 26th June, and consistently
high passenger loads are also expected from 25 to 28 June.
Emirates is reminding customers to arrive at
the airport at least three hours before flight departure, and plan extra time
to get to the airport. Passengers can check in as early as six hours before
departure. Emirates also recently introduced special areas for families
consisting of 10 check in counters in Terminal 3 that are designed with their
needs in mind.
Customers who check in less than 60 minutes
prior to their scheduled flight departure will not be accepted for travel.
These time checks are in place to ensure the minimization of delays and missed
connections. Passengers are also advised to make sure they get to their
boarding gate on time. Boarding starts 45 minutes before each flight and gates
close 20 minutes before departure. If passengers report late Emirates will not
be able to accept them for travel.
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 traveling with carry-on bags only, can proceed directly to
passport control and security clearance.
Customers traveling 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 on
at the relevant boarding gates where screenings will take place, or risk being
denied access to fly. During busy travel periods passengers may experience longer
queues due to heightened security measures.
