Dubz, dnata’s technology and logistics company, has partnered with Emirates and is now offering home check-in services to the Dubai-based airline’s passengers.

The partnership will enable Emirates passengers departing from Dubai to begin their travel by completing home check-in, baggage disinfection, and PCR test in the comfort of their home. Customers also have the option to book fast-track marhaba services to help whisk them through airport immigration.Emirates passengers can book their home check-in services online up to 24 hours before their flight and receive the service between 24 hours and 8 hours before scheduled departure time.

“It brings me great joy to announce that DUBZ Home Check-In is now available to all Emirates passengers traveling out of Dubai. Innovation is part of the identity at Emirates and DUBZ, and I have high hopes that this collaboration will build on this unique culture of creativity to provide Emirates passengers with a safe and seamless travel experience. With today’s challenging environment, such innovation is much needed and demanded by passengers and aviation players alike,” said Omar Abou Faraj, CEO of DUBZ, in a statement.

During the home check-in process for Emirates flights, Transguard agents will check in travellers for their flights, issue boarding passes, weigh and tag their sanitised baggage and ensure that they are delivered to the airport and loaded onto the aircraft.

Travellers also have the option to book pre-travel COVID-19 testing in the comfort of their own home. The enhanced home check-in service is available for customers across all classes travelling on Emirates flights, with packages starting from Dh169 on emirates.com.
