Read MoreEmirates has just introduced a brand new service officially which allows passengers to check-in for their flights from anywhere in Dubai - this service is available for passengers across all cabin classes travelling on Emirates flights for a fee. Home Check-in allows passengers to complete the security check and check-in from the comfort of their home, hotel or office and have their luggage transported to the airport prior to their flight.
