The peak holiday travel period will run from 19 December to 6 January, with over 5 million passengers passing through Dubai International Airport.

Suggestions for passengers
###
Check-in online prior to arriving at the airport, and make use of the quick-baggage drop counters at the Terminal.
###
Passengers should arrive at the airport at least 3-4 hours prior to their flight.
###
To ease congestion on the roads leading to the airport, Dubai Police will provide detours for traffic. All passengers are requested to adhere to the displayed instructions and guidance to/from the airport.
###
Passengers are reminded that gates close 20 minutes before departure. To ensure timely flight departures, passengers who report late will not be accepted for travel.
###
Eligible visitors (nationals of countries eligible for visa on arrival) and UAE residents (Emirates ID card holders) can use the smart gates to avoid queuing at passport control, both while arriving and on departure.
###
Passengers travelling through Terminal 1 should confirm check-in times for their respective airlines. Customers with baggage arriving into Terminal 1 can make use of the quick-baggage drop counters, while those carrying only hand luggage can proceed directly to immigration.
