Only Passengers Are Allowed Inside The Dubai Airport During The Peak Summer Travel Period

The residents of the UAE will take a four-day break to mark the Islamic festival of Eid Al Adha.

The passengers would be allowed inside the Dubai International Airport during "peak periods", its operator has said. The authorities advised passengers to exchange their farewells at home. It's customary for many residents to drop their relatives off at the airport and wait in the terminals until they complete their check-in formalities.

"Access to the arrivals forecourts in both Terminals 1 and 3 is restricted to public transport and authorised airport vehicles only," as per DXB. UAE residents will get a four-day break to mark the Islamic festival Eid Al Adha. Schools will close for the two-month summer vacation a couple of weeks later. DXB said it will welcome over 3.7 million guests with an average daily traffic of 264,000. June 22 is expected to be the busiest day, with guest numbers likely to exceed 287,000. Among many other tips issued by the airport operator is for flydubai passengers to arrive at least four hours before departure. Below are specific tips-

• Emirates passengers are advised to use the airline's home early and self-check-in facilities, including city check-in options.
• Guests flying with other airlines should aim to arrive at DXB three hours before their scheduled departure time, utilising online check-in to save time.
• Check-in advance to familiarise yourself with the airline's baggage allowance and packing regulations. This will avoid any last-minute surprises.
• Be prepared to save time at security screening. Place metal items such as watches, jewellery, mobile phones, coins, and belts in your hand luggage, and follow the directed guidelines for carrying liquids, aerosols, and gels.
• Children over 12 can expedite the passport control procedure by using Smart Gates.
• Keep abreast of the current travel regulations for your destination and ensure you have all necessary documents ready.
• Organise the travel documents in advance and weigh your luggage at home to avoid surprises at the airport and streamline your journey.
• Remember to pack spare batteries and power banks in your hand luggage.
• To avoid road congestion, use the Dubai Metro to get to and from the airport and between Terminals 1 and 3.
