Use the Smart Gates
Emirates ID cardholders can breeze through passport control by using DXB’s Smart Gates. Simply scan and go! What’s more, it’s completely free and no registration is required. To find them, follow the signs or ask ‘May I Help You?’ staff.
Grab a quick bite
DXB is full of excellent grab and go options. If you’re in Terminals 2 or 3, head to Paul for tasty French-style sandwiches, snacks and cakes. If you’re travelling through Terminal 1 (D Gates) then drop by CNN Traveller Café, where news travels fast!
Pick up currency
With exchange services all over DXB, it’s easy to get currency for your holiday. To save even more time, you can reserve ahead and collect the cash when you arrive in the airport.
Get the essentials
If you’ve forgotten to bring any medicine or travel essentials, head to Boots. This UK pharmacy giant can be found in Terminal 1 (D Gates) and Terminal 3 (B Gates). Just like all of DXB’s stores, Boots is open 24/7, which is very handy if you’re feeling a little under the weather.
Catch up on emails
Thanks to a major upgrade, DXB now offers unlimited high speed Wi-Fi for free. With simple one-click access, even those in a hurry can catch up on emails before jetting off.
