The upcoming festive season is expected to see record numbers of Emirates customers traveling, with the busiest days anticipated between December 12-15 and December 20-22, just before Christmas. Additionally, high volumes are predicted on December 27-29 ahead of New Year's Eve, with over 88,000 departures per day.

Emirates advises travelers to arrive at the airport up to three hours before their flight and pay attention to boarding times. The airline offers various check-in options including the Emirates City Check-In & Travel Store and newly refurbished First and Business Class areas at Dubai International Airport. Private home check-in services and remote facilities are also available.

Customers can download the Emirates app for online check-in and access flight details. The app allows users to book flights, download digital boarding passes, receive notifications, pre-order meals in Business Class, book chauffeur services, and select inflight entertainment options. Online check-in opens 48 hours prior to departure.
