With the expected influx of over a million travelers during the holiday travel peak, Dubai Airports advised passengers to arrive early at the airport to beat the holiday traffic and ensure a smooth start of their journey.
Dubai Airports also informed customers to check which airport they were departing from or arriving into.
DXB has likewise urged their customers to check their confirmation of their flight schedule with their respective airlines or browse through www.dubaiairports.ae.
“Check with the airline in advance for information on your baggage allowance. Irrespective of the allowance, a single unit of baggage weighing more than 32kgs will not be accepted at check-in. You should expect to be charged for baggage more than the limit set by your respective airline,” DXB said.
“It is always simpler to pack liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAGs) in your check-in baggage. However, if you must carry LAGs in your hand luggage, make sure they are in a clear re-sealable plastic bag. Each item should not be more than 100ml and the total content of all items should not be more than one litre,” DXB also added.
DXB passengers have noted that customers with baggage can use the quick—baggage drop counters, while those carrying their luggage may proceed directly to Immigration.
“Eligible visitors (foreigners that have visa on arrival) and UAE residents (Emirates ID card) have the privilege to use the smart gates to avoid queuing at passport control, both while arriving and on departure,” DXB said.
DXB is also offering a special package that allows a family of four to check in at Terminal 3 for their flight up to 12 hours before, get through security and head into departures starting their holiday in a completely stress-free way.
“The Al Majlis VIP service eases your journey through the airport, speeding you through check-in, immigration, and baggage clearance – even assisting with travel documentation – while you relax in luxurious lounges,” DXB said.
DXB has been commended as the number one airport in terms of international passenger traffic and number three globally in terms of total passenger traffic as reported by Airports Council International.
