Opt for check-in from home and save time before flying from the United Arab Emirates

Do you fear long check-in lines at the airport? Or do you prefer to travel in comfort? If you are traveling from Dubai, you have the luxury of checking in from home, hassle-free.

During the COVID-19 attack, while several airlines were fighting for survival, others used methods introduced earlier to facilitate travel in such difficult times.

Some airlines offer a ‘Home check-in’ service, in which passengers can travel without problems and ‘forget’ about their luggage. At the moment, only four airlines offer this service in Dubai: Flydubai, Emirates, Saudia and Kuwait Airways. This service is offered through ‘Dubz’, which is powered by dnata. In Abu Dhabi, this service is offered by Etihad Airways.

Here’s how you can take advantage of the service:

Dubai

1. Go to the ‘Dubz.com’ website or your respective airline’s website (skip to Step 3 if so).

2. On Dubz.com, you can choose “fly from Dubai” and select the airline you fly with from the drop-down menu. Click ‘Book Now’.

3. You will now be shown three package options to select from:

to. Registration at home: 279 dirhams

b. Home check-in and landing and departure package: Dh399

C. Additional experience: 549 dirhams

4. Select the option that you think will best suit your needs. Clicking the ‘select’ button will take you to another page.

5. On this page you can add extras to your cart before making payment. The extras you can choose are:

to. Additional bags (if more than 4 bags)

b. Additional Fast Track Pass: Must be selected by travelers requiring more than 4 passes.

6. Once you click “next”, you will be asked to fill in your flight details, after which you will also be asked to register for a Dubz account using your personal information.

7. Everything ready! After registering or logging in and completing your details, you can proceed to pay and travel without problems.

It is important to note that this service will already be included for Emirates passengers flying in First Class. To book the complimentary home check-in service, travelers should go to the Emirates website and click on the link under “Book complimentary home check-in” on the “Home check-in and check-in” page. Land and leave.”

Abu Dhabi

If you want to take advantage of the home check-in service from Abu Dhabi and fly with Etihad Airways, here’s how you can book:

If it is your first time, you will need to download the MORAFIQ application on your phone. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

After registering in the app, you can opt for the service up to five hours before your flight and select a convenient time for agents to visit your home.

If you want to avail the service without having to download the app, head to the Etihad Airways website and select the “Home Check-in” option.

Once you reach the page, you will see the “Book Now” option, where you will be directed to a page that will ask you to log in or register. After creating an account or logging in, you will be asked to fill out certain details and choose a convenient time for check-in agents to visit you.
