Baggage services in Dubai
If you need a helping hand with your bags, we’re here to lighten your journey with our convenient baggage services.
Home Check-in and Land & Leave
Let the check in agents come to you, wherever you are. Enjoy exclusive rates on Home Check-in and Land & Leave services when you fly Emirates.
Book Home Check-in and let the agents come to you to weigh and tag your bags, print your boarding pass and deliver your bags to the flight. You can add extra services like airport fast-track, or upgrade to a full meet and greet service.
When you book and travel in First Class, Home Check-in is complimentary. Our free Home Check-in service applies to full fare First Class tickets. If you’ve bought your tickets using Skywards Miles or upgraded your ticket with cash or miles, you’ll need to book our paid Home Check-in service.
Or book Land & Leave and a porter will collect your bags and deliver them to your address when you arrive in Dubai. Step off the aircraft, go through immigration and head straight home or to your hotel.

Luggage storage
If you have time to spare before your next flight, drop your bags in our safe storage at the airport and you can head back into the city hands-free. Left luggage is ideal when you have to check out from your hotel long before your flight, or if you’re on a short stopover on your way through Dubai.

These are the charges to store your bags for up to 12 hours:
Bag type Charge Standard bag (maximum dimensions of 21 by 24 by 11 inches) AED 35 Large bag (larger than 21 by 24 by 11 inches) AED 40 Valuables AED 40 Odd-shaped luggage
If you’re flying with baggage that’s a funny shape, you may need to take a few extra steps to check it in.
Some baggage doesn’t travel easily on a conveyer belt. That includes round, irregular-shaped parcels; bags with loose straps or with handles that can’t be removed or secured; or bags that don’t have a flat surface.
If that sounds like your baggage, you need to repack it in a cardboard box which you can find at the baggage wrapping kiosks just before check-in. You can also get travel bags from airport duty free. Otherwise, you can always send bulky items through our Emirates Skycargo services.
If you’re looking for information about outsized baggage like sports equipment or mobility aids, you can find that information here.
