Emirates issues advice ahead of travel peak on Friday

Emirates Airline has issued travel advice ahead of its busiest day on Friday, December 11, and the Christmas holiday season.

The carrier is expecting more than 200,000 passengers to travel through Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport between now and December 21.

In addition, over 200,000 passengers will be arriving into Dubai on Emirates flights during this period.

Customers are reminded to check the latest travel requirements to their booked destination and to arrive at the airport at least three hours before their flight departure.

Passengers are encouraged to build in extra time for their journey to avoid delays with expected traffic congestion coming into Terminal 3.

Anyone who turns up less than 60 minutes prior to their scheduled departure will not be accepted for travel.

Customers should also make sure they have read the latest COVID-19 travel and specific testing requirements for their destination on the Emirates website.
