Emirates urges December travellers to reach DXB early as the airport expects 2.3 million departures and over 2.5 million arrivals. With UAE National Day, school holidays, and festive travel, passengers should plan ahead due to heavier road traffic and busier parking.
Emirates has shared five tips for smoother December travel at DXB:
Arrive at DXB three hours before departure and clear immigration 90 minutes early.
Register for Biometrics smart gates through the Emirates app for faster airport movement.
Drop luggage early at City Check-In to earn bonus Skywards Miles.
Use home, hotel, or office luggage collection for convenience.
Avoid restricted items, including banned power banks, to prevent delays.
