CRUISE DUBAI: Emirates Airline check-in terminals now open at Dubai Cruise Terminal
Passengers disembarking from cruise ships in Dubai can now check-in Emirates flight at Dubai Cruise Terminal.
The terminals are Emirates’ first outside of the airport and were opened at the beginning of the 2019/2020 cruise season, which tourism officials in the city have indicated looks to be the biggest on record.
Enabling cruise passengers ending their voyage in Dubai to check-in to their flight at the cruise terminal provides greater convenience for Emirates customers and Dubai cruise tourists, enhancing Dubai’s position as a premier international cruise destination.
With complimentary flight check-in facilities located at the same location as their cruise disembarkation point, customers will have the convenience of exploring Dubai without their luggage before heading directly to the airport for their flight.
The Emirates check-in facility at Port Rashid’s Dubai Cruise Terminal 3 will have eight counters where Emirates staff will check-in customers’ luggage and issue boarding passes up to 4 hours before flight departure.
The facility will be open during the annual cruise season in the city, which runs from October to April.
During the coming season, several dozen cruise ships are expected to make 198 port calls at Port Rashid. A total of one million cruise tourists will either end their cruise in Dubai, or fly into Dubai to board cruise ships departing the city.
Approximately 280,000 passengers will have onward Emirates flights, according to the airline.
