Dubai Airports issues advice for travellers

As residents return from their summer vacations, Dubai’s DXB airport is getting ready to welcome 3.3 million travellers over the next 13-day period.

It’s estimated that 26 and 27 August are expected to be the busiest days with a cumulative traffic of more than half a million guests.

Dubai Airports is working closely with airlines, control authorities and service partners to help ease congestion.

DXB has released the following tips for passengers:

Travellers between the ages of four and 12 can use dedicated passport control counters to independently stamp their passports upon arrival at Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
Travellers over the age of 12 can use Smart Gates to speed up the passport control process.
The road through the airport could get busy during peak times. If possible, travellers should use the Dubai Metro, which has stations at DXB Terminals 1 and 3.
Those picking up guests should use DXB’s designated car parks or valet services. Access to the Arrivals’ forecourts in Terminals 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and other authorised airport vehicles.
