    Will have the capacity for 90 million passengers -up from the current 60m- due to a strategic plan that includes airport and airspace expansion programs.

    Never passed through airport arrivals so quickly as I have at DXB, and you could eat your dinner off the floor, it’s so clean! Staff could show a smile when approached, but are always efficient.

    Terminal is a long and endless concourse, with gates quite far apart. Lounge tip: Emirateslounge extends the entire upper floor, sit close to your gate and just take the elevator to boarding.

    It's a giant mall... but no matter what you think of it, it's truly the world's airport. You can fly to almost any major city on six continents from here.

    Service is getting better they sometimes have certain lines for people with European & American passports when it's so crowded. Makes life easier!

    Glitzy but efficient airport. Get a long layover if possible, and buy a day pass on the LRT and see some of this amazing city. Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifah are great attractions.

    If you are transiting out via Emirates flight, need Visa on-arrival,& already have a hotel reservation, go to the Emirates "Hotel & Visas" desk at the Arrivals, before getting in line. $10 Visa

    Very organized. I prefer stopping in Abu Dhabi vs Dubai due to the traffic in the airport. The tickets are also cheaper through Etihad Airways vs Emirates Airways. Tarek Dabbagh Tampa, FL

    If you want to enjoy #Skywards Lounge use the main one (next to gate B13) other ones are way smaller. Just make sure to leave early to your gate!

    It's the best Airport I've ever been !!! It's so big though you find everything easily with free showers at freeshop area. It's the best hub in the world to connecting flights.

    Emirates Terminal 3 with its A Gates part is my favorite. If you don't go to business lounge try Giraffe cafe (near A18) with its wide selection of healthy food

    This terminal is for Fly Dubai - the country's budget carrier. While clean & has wifi, note that it DOES NOT connect to the main Emirates Terminal & metro. The latter requires a taxi or bus!

    Had a long trip and now a long layover? Grab your travel towel (or buy one) and try the free hot showers. They're amazing. Also, you can get a free meal if you have 4hr+ layover with Emirates.

    You can find printing service on reasonable price in Concourse B just behind customer care. Use same lifts as Emirates lounges and go to 5th floor and locate business Center. Around 3 dirhams per page

    The airport that doesn't sleep. Retail and food and beverage outlets open throughout the night. Many seats to rest and sleep. Silent airport with no announcements.

    Not easy to navigate. Good for long layovers as there are plenty of lounge chairs and even a Dubai Tourism area with carpets and comfy pillows to relax in.
  • Georgienne B.
    For layover, you may receive a hotel voucher from Emirates. Hotel is outside airport. It may not be worth it. The airport sleep and fly is a practical inexpensive option inside the sterile area.

    Get a 20 Dirham silver "NOL" card and take the futuristic Logan's Run metro straight from inside the airport to all important points down town and coastal for a mere dollar or two! (Closes at 11 PM.)

    Customs was fairly quick and easy to get through but a very long walk. Fast free WiFi. Amex Platinum Card gets you into Marhaba Lounge, Arline status gets you into Skyteam Lounge; Priority Pass both.

    It is perfectly situated a short walk across the pedestrian walkway from the International terminals of Dubai Airport, meaning that you do not have to worry about traffic hassle, bus availability etc. Read more

    Good stopover airport with great lounges and general facilities. Shopping not cheap though, so rather have some R&R. Heathrow airport is cheaper.

    Free WiFi throughout the terminal. Duty Free. Big, clean and modern. And if you're in transit and booked a hotel inside the airport, don't come out, inquire with transfer desk. Welcome to home, Dubai.
