Emirates Shares Top Tips for Families Flying Better This Summer
As families gear up for the summer travel season, Emirates has rolled out a series of tips and tricks to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for all passengers, particularly those travelling with children.
Emirates, known for its family-friendly services, anticipates a significant increase in travel starting from Saturday, 6 July, as families embark on summer holidays. To assist travellers, the airline recommends planning for additional travel time due to heightened airport activity, especially at peak hours.
Key recommendations include arriving at the airport three hours before departure during peak times, allowing sufficient time for immigration clearance, and reaching boarding gates at least an hour before departure.
For added convenience, Emirates offers innovative services such as Home Check-In, where passengers can complete check-in procedures from their homes, hotels, or offices, with baggage handled directly to the flight. This service is complimentary for First Class passengers and Platinum Skywards members.
Passengers can also utilize the Emirates app or website for online check-in, digital boarding passes, flight updates, and pre-ordering services like preferred seating and extra baggage allowance. Additionally, EmiratesRED.com allows passengers to pre-order duty-free items for delivery directly to their seats inflight.
During the summer travel period, Emirates is enhancing the airport experience with complimentary ice-cream for families at specified times, free baby strollers at Dubai Airport, and dedicated play areas in lounges equipped with games and entertainment for children.
The airline also provides specialized services for unaccompanied minors and supports families with children with autism through detailed travel planning and assistance.
Onboard, Emirates ensures comfort and entertainment with amenities like kid’s meals, baby amenity kits, and baby bassinets for infants. The award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice, offers a wide array of movies, games, and activities tailored for children of all ages.
Emirates encourages families to make the most of their travel experience with these tailored services and amenities, ensuring every journey is comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.
