Flydubai opens city check-in service...

Travellers can drop luggage up to 24 hours before flight

Dubai-based low-cost airline Flydubai has opened its first-ever city check-in centre as part of a new Travel Store in the heart of Sharjah in the UAE.

The new service lets passengers check in prior to their flight, meaning they can skip airport queues and head straight to immigration.

Flydubai passengers departing from Terminal 2 at Dubai International (DXB) can check in their baggage and collect their boarding passes at the facility anytime between 24 and 6 hours before their scheduled flight departure.

The facility is open between 9am and 10pm daily and includes porter assistance.

“By offering this added flexibility with the new city check-in service, we aim to improve the overall travel experience and support our customers’ needs in a more personalised and accessible way,” said Sudhir Sreedharan, Divisional Senior Vice President of Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Africa, South Asia, and South-East Asia) at flydubai.

Beyond this facility, the new Travel Shop comes with dedicated service desks and a waiting lounge and offers a comprehensive range of travel services, where passengers can book flights, make changes to their itineraries and access exclusive Flydubai holiday packages.

UAE airports continue to raise the bar for convenience with Air Arabia recently opening a city check-in centre at Dubai’s Al Barsha Mall, bringing its UAE-wide network to 14 centres, while Dubai Airport (DXB) also recently launched a remote check-in and direct luggage delivery service, allowing travellers to complete check-in procedures from the comfort of their home or hotel.
