Emirates expands Self Check-In Service at Dubai International Airport

Emirates Airline passengers departing from Dubai International Airport now have more options for check-in, with the introduction of a new Quick Baggage Drop service and additional Self-Service Check-in Kiosks.

Passengers holding electronic or ATB2 tickets (ATB2 tickets have magnetic strips located across the back of the ticket coupon, which make them machine-readable), members of Emirates' Skywards and its partner frequent flyer programmes, can check-in, select their seats and print their own boarding passes via Emirates' self-service kiosks at the airport. Those carrying only hand-luggage can then proceed directly to immigration, while those with baggage can now check in their luggage at dedicated Quick Baggage Drop counters.

Emirates has also increased the number of self-service kiosks at Dubai International Airport from 4 to 11. There are now four kiosks located in the Economy Class check-in area, and seven in Emirates' First and Business Class check-in area.

Mohammed Mattar, Emirates' Senior Vice President for Airport Services (Dubai) said, "Emirates' Self-Service Check-in Kiosks have been very popular with business travellers since they were introduced in 2003. In the initial stages, this service was only available to those travelling with hand-baggage.

We are pleased to expand and enhance this service by adding a new Quick Baggage Drop facility that makes it possible for passengers travelling with check-in baggage to also use the self-service kiosks."
