Emirates can be counted among one of the finest full-service carriers of the world in almost every respect. This airline is headquartered in Dubai and flies to all major destinations across the global. The airline makes use of latest air travel technology to the fullest extent in order to ensure that its passengers do not have to face inconvenience. One of the areas where technology has been used is in simplifying the check-in process and providing multiple options on-hand for this purpose.
Emirates check-in can be accomplished in following ways:
1. At the airport counter
2. At the airport kiosks
3. Using internet, on desktop or laptops
4. Using internet, on smartphones
The online check-in process is simple wherein the passengers are required to key in their confirmation number or PNR number and the last name to begin the process. Once through, they are required to select the number of passengers that would be flying, select the seats of choice (the ones already booked are marked), opt for special service requests and receive the eboarding pass in the end. The pass is sent to the mobiles either by way of SMS which contains a link and from where it can be downloaded on mobile.
While check-in is made easy for a number of passengers, certain passengers are still required to report to the airport desk for this purpose. The online methods are not applicable to them. These passengers are the ones for whom verification is necessary. So, these could be those who have requested for special assistance, such as pregnant women, passengers with infants, groups of more than 10 people, children of less than 16 years of age and others.
Since it is not open to all passengers, it is pertinent to know whether you qualify for it or not. This will save hassles at the airport.
