The airport is advising all travellers to allow extra time for check-in, security screening, and boarding processes, issuing a number of tips to ensure a smooth journey –
• Emirates passengers can take advantage of the airline’s convenient home, early and self-check-in facilities, including city check-in options.

• Familiarise yourself with your airline’s baggage allowance and packing regulations. Avoid last-minute surprises by checking in advance.
• Save time at security screening by being prepared. Place metal items— watch, jewellery, mobile phone, coins, belt— in your hand luggage and follow the directed guidelines for carrying liquids, aerosols, and gels.

• Remember to pack spare batteries and power banks in your hand luggage.
• Farewells should be exchanged at home, as only guests will be permitted inside the terminals during peak periods.
• Use the Dubai Metro to get to and from the airport and between Terminals 1 and 3 to avoid road congestion.
