Dubai Airport

✅ Trip Verified | Overall, my journey through the airport has been smooth. And staying in the Airport for 10 hours overnight is tiring but likely there are some lie-flat seats in the terminal which I found quite useful. The main point that I would talk about is the lavatory problem. I found the lavatory in Concourse A had been ill-maintained. The water sink has been slightly over pressured. When I place my hand on it, some water spills on my T-shirt. That is also why there are lots of water spots on the sink table. Plus I see some tissues on the sink. I find the Concourse C lavatories are doing a much better job in interior Decoration, and cleanliness. If they can, why they don't do the same for Concourse A? For transit hubs, this detail does make a lot of difference in user satisfaction and they should invest more in maintaining the quality of the airport facilities quality.

✅ Trip Verified | I traveled use Emirates from Dammam and landed at terminal 3, and I have connecting flight to Hong Kong by Cathay Pacific, so I have to take shuttle bus to reach terminal 1 and go through 3 time scanning process, 1st scan, 2nd scan have no problem, when I pass by the scan there is peep sound due to small pin in my turban, while in 3rd scan I meet the very rude officer. While I explain, I been twice scanning and the sound is from the small pin, he shouted "TALK TO ME" and sawing angry face and ask me to take of all my jewelry I wear nd put in the basket to scan. It's real disappointing that Dubai airport have such kind of customers service, which ruining my time of travel.

Not Verified | Frankly, it's abysmal in one major respect. There aren't any travelators and it is absolutely huge. Very painful when your plane is delayed in arriving at the airport due to it being late at your first airport. When you arrive at DBX forty minutes before your next one is due to leave when it should have been two hours and then have to hike almost it seems right the way across the airport to your London flight it's when you ask "which idiot designed an airport which is going to be mainly used by transit passengers and don't put in travelators". Fair enough, there were Emirates staff showing which way to go, and it was 'OK' on my return trip but it was still painful. Definitely will think twice about Emirates next time though - this was a test trip that they effectively failed because of DXB.

✅ Trip Verified | Limited shopping, rude security check with no consistency in the rules they set. Eery time I travel here the requirements are different and seem to be set by individual security people depending on their mood. Not enough seating capacity, toilets are not very clean with often long lines. The only good thing is the train system.

✅ Trip Verified | Transferred by bus to the Terminal 1 satellite building. Big queue for the transfer train into Terminal 1. I squeezed onto the third train. My passport was rejected after queuing for 10 minutes to use the 'smart' gates. This seemed to be happening to about half those who tried to use them. I was then directed to the back of a very long queue to have my passport manually checked. After waiting 15 minutes, those in the row behind me were allowed to move to another area reserved for GCC passport holders. I had to wait another 15 minutes. During this time, the barriers were randomly removed again to allow others to jump the queue.

Not Verified | Airport much quieter than when I was here during ramadan but still difficult to find a quiet place to nap. This is more due to passengers and staff using their phones in areas that would otherwise be quiet. The passenger carrying electrical vehicles drive way to fast through crowded areas. I was here for 10 hours and saw many near collisions with people including one kid who wanted in front of one

✅ Trip Verified | I had a lay over of ten hours at Dubai airport. The airline had arranged for my transit visa and hotel stay. There was disorganisation on every process. The immigration official was very rude and refused to communicate with me! Haven’t these people given training as to how friendly they need to be with passengers. My passport was scanned but the machine failed to scan my wife’s passport. There was an official nearby and my wife asked what could be done to get her passport scanned. The lady looked at my wife as if she had asked her the favour of letting her out without a visa. Finally she said “I don’t know”! We realised that there were more whose passports could not be scanned. Now we found another official who directed us to place that resembled a cattle shed and the passports were manually scanned. The instruction signs inside are very poor and some are even misleading. We walked kilometres and after a couple of enquiries reached bus pick up point. I have been through a number of airports but have never come across so arrogant officials any any one of them than this ‘Chosen people’s. one. I will never choose Dubai airport to fly from.

Not Verified | Rude checkin staff seemed frustrated and judgmental and train staff was immature and not friendly, made me uncomfortable. Also there are cab scammers near the entrance that overcharge.

✅ Trip Verified | Interior was outdated, cleanliness was bare minimum. food are very limited, and overpriced. To Emirates self drop baggage, improve it by adding staff. Elderly who are not familiar about the technology cause long queues. Good thing they provide “taxi” inside the airport from gate to gate since its very far!

Not Verified | So poor. No seating anywhere. Far too warm. Lots a walking to gates. Security is very bad. Toilets are not well cleaned. Not many food option all restaurants have queues to get in. Very over priced. If you could find a seat it was very uncomfortable. The first time I've ever been into an airport and had to book into the lounge just to get a seat and be able to charge phone. Would avoid flying from here if you have an option.
