flydubai is expecting higher than usual passenger volumes at Dubai International Airport (DXB) over the summer holiday period and has issued a set of practical travel tips to help reduce delays.

The carrier has advised passengers to arrive at least four hours before their scheduled departure. Check-in closes 60 minutes before flights depart, and flydubai recommends confirming departure gate information on airport screens in good time to board without rushing.

Online check-in is available from 48 hours down to 75 minutes before departure. Those who prefer alternatives can use a home check-in service or visit the city check-in desk at flydubai’s Travel Shop in Sharjah. Self-service kiosks in Terminal 2 allow passengers to print baggage tags and complete check-in before heading directly to the bag drop desk.

Passengers are also advised to review their baggage allowance before arriving at the airport, and to ensure their contact details are current via the “Manage your booking” section via the website, so the airline can reach them quickly in the event of any schedule changes.
