Emirates Airline has advised passengers to arrive at least three hours before their departure as it is expecting a high volume of travellers during the Eid Al Adha break.
In a travel advisory shared on its official website, the airline encouraged passengers to arrive at the boarding gate at least an hour before departing.
The airline noted that security and immigration checkpoints might take longer to pass through during peak travel periods at the airport.
It also recommended passengers to avoid traffic congestion by taking the Dubai Metro for a smoother travel journey.
The Eid Al Adha break will start from Monday, May 25, until Friday, May 29, for the public and education sector, while private sector will be off from Tuesday, May 26.
