All passengers flying aboard Emirates, can check-in online 48 hours prior to their flight by using the online check-in option on www.emirates.com. By using this option, customers can conveniently choose their seat, select their preferred meal and bring any last-minute upgrades to their travel experience. Furthermore, by opting for online check-in, customers can save time at airport by easily dropping of their baggage at dedicated drop desks and downloading a digital boarding pass.

3. Sort your Luggage in advance

Passengers departing from Dubai can delight in this option, by dropping their baggage at the airport 24 hours before departure and checking in early. For those travelling to the US or Tel Aviv, the drop-off will be available 12 hours before departure. A winning chance for families travelling together, this option will cut down your time at the airport by heading directly to the immigration upon arrival.

4. Self-check-in Kiosks at airport

Make use of the easy option to carry out check-in by yourself at the self-check in kiosks. Simply follow the steps on the touchscreen kiosk to complete the check-in process or operate the kiosk without touching by using a mobile phone. Through the kiosk, customers can take a look at the entire travel itinerary, pick preferred seats and add Emirates Skywards numbers as well. For customers, who have already checked in-online, the option is there to check-in bags by utilizing the baggage drop area.

5. Biometrics Lead the way

Designated for First and Business Class customers departing from Dubai, the Smart Tunnel allows an unforgettable experience by walking through a tunnel and being cleared by immigration authorities without any human intervention or physical passport stamp. The only thing necessary is a quick photo at check-in to capture facial data which can then be used to easily pass through all airport formalities.
