Passengers flying on Emirates can now get their
boarding pass and travel directly to Emirates Terminal 3 on the
metro at Terminal 3 station, using the Self-service, Check-in
Kiosks located at Mall of the Emirates, Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall
and Financial Centre metro stations on the Red line.
The service adds another level of efficiency to
travel where Emirates’ customers can conveniently check-in, select
their seats and print their own boarding pass, without waiting in
line at the airport. Passengers only need the reservation code or
the ticket number, or their Emirates’ Skywards membership number,
to access the service. Check-in at the metro stations should be
done at least two hours prior to the flight’s departure time, in
accordance with Dubai Metro timings.
Roads and Transport
Authority (RTA) regulations state that passengers are allowed to
carry up to two luggage pieces each on the metro, provided the
first piece does not exceed the size specification of 81cm in
width, 58cm in height and 30cm in depth, and the second not larger
than 55cm in width, 38cm in height and 20cm in depth.
While
passengers are required to manage their own luggage on the metro,
upon arrival at the airport, those carrying only hand-luggage can
proceed directly to immigration, while passengers with baggage can
check-in their luggage at dedicated Baggage Drop counters.
Mohammed H Mattar, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President,
Airport Services said, “Emirates is always looking at ways to add
value and enhance the travel experience of our customers.
Self-service check-in kiosks at some of Dubai's metro stations are
an innovation that will allow Emirates' customers the convenience
to access their boarding pass before they get to the airport.”
On arrival at Terminal 3, customers can also
avail of a host of baggage services including a baggage wrapping
service for luggage protection, and a Concierge service that
includes porter trolley assistance.
