Thursday, July 4, 2024 Emirates anticipates a significant peak travel period beginning on Saturday, 6 July, as many families depart for summer holidays. Travelers are encouraged to take note of essential airport timings, enjoy complimentary Emirates ice cream, and explore various family-friendly flying options. Emirates, known for being family-friendly, transports over one million children globally each year and provides multiple bespoke services for families.
During this peak travel period, customers leaving Dubai with Emirates should plan for increased road traffic near the airport, more people going through Immigration, and the time required to travel between Concourses and reach Boarding Gates. Follow these timelines for stress-free family travel: Home Check-In : Emirates customers in Dubai and Sharjah can use the Emirates Home Check-In service. Agents complete the check-in process at the customer’s home, hotel, or office, and take the bags to the flight, allowing passengers to arrive later with hand luggage.
This service must be booked at least 24 hours before the flight and is complimentary for First Class passengers and Platinum Skywards members. Use the App or Website : Download the Emirates app to book and change flights, download a digital boarding pass for most destinations, receive flight notifications, and check the in-flight menu. Customers can also purchase preferred seats and excess baggage allowance in advance, book a chauffeur drive service, and pre-select.
