If you are traveling tomorrow and leaving through the Dubai International Airport, you have to arrive early.
Emirates Airlines sent out an advisory to its customers to arrive three hours before their flight and factor in extra time for check-in and security screening.
This is due to the high number of passengers expected to travel starting today and tomorrow.
“Customers are advised to allow extra commute time due to heavy traffic around the terminals,” Emirates said in a tweet today.

Earlier this month, the UAE Cabinet has approved the public holidays for the remainder of the year 2019 and next year 2020.
In December, there are three holidays. December 1 is a holiday for Commemoration Day and Dec. 2-3 for the National Day.
It’s a long weekend during that time as December 1 falls on a Sunday and December 2-3 is on Monday and Tuesday. If you’ll include Saturday, that would be a total of five days vacation.
