Emirates airline has closed its first-class check-in area at Dubai International Airport (DXB) for a few months. When it reopens, passengers will be able to “step through private doors” and check in from the luxurious private lounge, Dubai’s flagship carrier said.
In the meantime, travellers bound for the US and other destinations may use the check-in desks at Terminal 3, the airline said.
“Until June 2025, the first-class check‑in area at Dubai International Airport will be closed while we create a new and luxurious private lounge area. During the upgrade, please use first-class check‑in desks 54‑60 for flights to the US, and desks 16‑20 for all other destinations,” it added.
