Emirates urges travelers to book summer tickets now

NIGERIA, LAGOS 22nd, June 2022: Emirates has urged intending summer holiday customers who are yet to make their travel arrangements to book at once in order to ensure that they are able to travel on their preferred dates and flights. This comes as summer holidays draw closer, daily booking volumes are accelerating and as travel rebounds from the impact of the pandemic.

 Emirates is busy preparing for its busiest period with over 550,000 customers expected to fly out from the UAE between June and July on over 2,400 weekly network-wide departures.  The Airline has continued to add flights and frequencies where possible as it ramps up its summer schedule, and will be operating close to 80% of its pre-pandemic capacity, or over 1 million weekly seats for this summer to serve demand.

Emirates is working hard to ensure it provides an incredible onboard experience, and a seamless journey on the ground. As many customers have been waiting for almost two years to travel on the ground, customers can look forward to a speedy process when they utilise the airline’s biometric path in Terminal 3 for a contactless journey from select check-in desks, Emirates lounges and boarding gates. The airline has also introduced other technology-centric services including self-check-in and bag drop kiosks at DXB for a smoother and contactless airport experience. Emirates customers also now have the option to cut down their wait time with 25 mobile check-in ports, where they can get their boarding cards, weigh and tag their bags, and have any of their questions answered by check-in staff.

From Abu Dhabi, Emirates customers can board the airline’s bus service which now operates five times a day. First Class customers can take advantage of Emirates’ new Home Check-in Service that offers them the option to check in from home, free of charge.  Emirates’ First Class customers based in Dubai and Sharjah, can have Check-in Agents visit their homes or hotels at pre-booked timings to complete all check-in formalities, including document verification, checking-in of baggage, and issuing boarding passes.There is an allocated counter at the airport for any last-minute extra luggage.
