Use the Emirates App and biometric path
Travelers can use the Emirates app to check in up to 48 hours before departure, download digital boarding passes, receive flight notifications, preselect entertainment, and book chauffeur-drive services.
The app now also enables passengers to enroll in the airport’s biometric pathway, allowing faster access through smart gates, lounge entry and biometric boarding.
Check in at DIFC and earn skywards miles

Drop bags the night before or use home check-in
Follow baggage and battery rules
The airline reminded customers to comply with its updated baggage and dangerous goods policies. Only one power bank under 100Wh is permitted and must be placed in carry-on luggage. Smart bags are allowed in the cabin only if the battery is removable and switched off.
Electronic cigarettes, vape devices, and similar items must be carried in hand luggage and secured to prevent accidental activation.
Emirates said these measures aim to ease congestion and ensure smoother journeys during what is expected to be one of the busiest travel periods in recent years.
