In addition, more than 200,000 passengers will be arriving into Dubai on Emirates flights during that same period, the carrier said. Fliers need to check the latest travel requirements to their booked destinations, and to arrive at the airport at least three hours prior to departure.
Emirates also urged passengers to use the self check-in and bag drop kiosks for a more seamless airport experience. The service is available to all destinations except to the US, Canada, China, India and Hong Kong due to additional requirements from these destinations.
