Home UAE Dubai Over 700,000 passengers to depart from DXB’s Terminal 3 over next two weekends – Emirates Close to 620,000 passengers will also be arriving on Emirates flights during the same period by Zainab Mansoor March 18, 2022 More than 700,000 passengers are expected to depart from DXB’s Terminal 3 over the next two weekends, Dubai carrier Emirates has said. With the lifting of Covid-19 related travel restrictions in 16 countries, Emirates customers will be able to check-in without having to present their Covid-19 related medical documents. Meanwhile, in some countries passenger locator forms are also not required. These include the UK, Portugal, Italy, Jordan, Mauritius, Maldives, Austria, Bahrain, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain and Switzerland. Travel restrictions, however, remain in place for other destinations and Emirates customers should check their documents prior to flights. We’re expecting a busy travel period at @DXB over the next two weeks, with over 700,000 passengers travelling for the spring break holidays. If you’re travelling, we recommend arriving at least 3 hours prior to your flight. pic.twitter.com/474CLGU2hq — Emirates Airline (@emirates) March 19, 2022 Passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least three hours prior to departure with the requisite documents. In addition to departures from Dubai, close to 620,000 passengers will also be arriving on Emirates flights during the same period. Customers who check in less than 60 minutes before departure will not be accepted for travel. Passengers who have been checked-in, are advised to ensure they arrive to their boarding gate on time. Gates open 90 minutes before departure, boarding starts 45 minutes before the flight and gates close 20 minutes before departure. Emirates will not be able to accept passengers reporting late to the boarding gate for travel, a statement said. Emirates’ customers may check in as early as 24 hours before their flight using the 32 self-service bag drop machines and 16 check-in kiosks available at Terminal 3, or at Emirates’ check-in desks. Passengers travelling to the US can check in 12 hours before departure at the check-in desks. Customers using the self-service kiosk will receive their boarding passes on the spot, but must complete their immigration formalities no later than 60 minutes before their flight departure.
