How to Use Emirates' Home Check-in Service

Dubai International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. Fortunately, the city’s flagship carrier — Emirates — offers a great solution for passengers who would rather skip the long queues for security checks at DXB: the “Home Check-in” service.

Recently, Emirates announced a new service that allows passengers to complete check-in procedures from the comfort of their own home. This includes weighing your luggage, checking you in, and printing your boarding pass. Too good to be true? You better believe it!

The home check-in service is available to Emirates passengers who will be departing from Dubai International Airport. It can be done in the passengers’ home, office, or hotel where they’re staying. The service, however, does not include passengers’ transportation to the airport.

Emirates described the service as “the first of its kind” in the entire region, and customers have expressed positive responses. The airline also reiterated its commitment to providing customers with world-class products and services — ensuring safe, smooth, and comfortable journeys.
