Checking in and baggage

For Emirates originating flights, you will receive your onward boarding pass at check-in. When you check in, your baggage will be tagged for your final destination – that means you won’t have to collect it in Dubai.

Connecting in Dubai

In Dubai, Emirates operates from Terminal 3 and flydubai operates from Terminal 2. If you arrive on an Emirates flight and you're connecting to an onward flydubai flight, you need to take a bus to the F Gates. There are signs to guide you.
