Emirates Also Issues An Advisory
Not only the Dubai RTA, but the Emirates has also issued a passenger advisory. Emirates has also advised passengers that there could be heavy airport traffic during the holiday period. So, travellers have been asked to arrive at least three hours before their departure time. Not to mention, they’ve also been advised to be at the boarding gates no later than 60 minutes before their flights take off. This is to avoid delays during the peak movement periods. Additionally, the Dubai-based airline is also promoting early and digital check-in options in order to streamline the passenger flow and reduce waiting times in the queue.
Finally, the airline has also recommended the use of the Dubai Metro instead of private vehicles for arriving at the airport. This is to reduce getting stuck in possible road congestion during the travel search. So, if you are someone who is travelling this Eid, you will want to keep this advisory in mind for a seamless and quick travel.
