Online Check-In

Frequently asked questions

What is online check-in? When and where can I use it?

Online check-in lets you save time and fuss at the airport by checking in for your Emirates flight via the website before you arrive at the airport.

Online check-in is available 48 hours before your flight’s scheduled departure time. It closes 90 minutes before scheduled departure for all passengers who have e-tickets.

If you are departing from Dubai, you can drop off your bags 24 hours before departure, or 12 hours before departure if you’re flying to the US.

Please note that online check-in is not available if the first flight in your itinerary is not an Emirates flight. This applies to all codeshare flights that are not operated by Emirates.

If the first flight of your journey is operated by Qantas, you can check in online at Qantas (Opens an external website in a new tab)  .

How do I use online check-in?

In order to use online check-in, you must know the surnames of all passengers you will be checking in and have the Booking Reference/PNR from your eticket.

When you have the necessary information:

Visit the Online Check-in page.

Enter your surname and Booking Reference/PNR to initiate your check-in.

Select the passengers you'd like to check in.

You may be asked to enter Advance Passenger Information if required by the destination country.

You will then have the option of changing seats and adding any missing Emirates Skywards numbers before finalizing your online check-in.

It’s still possible to choose your seat. However, due to current circumstances and for operational reasons we may need to change your seat before departure or on board. If this happens and you have paid to select your seat, you will be eligible for a refund in line with our terms and conditions .

Can I use online check-in for other passengers in my traveling party?

Yes. Online check-in is available for up to nine (9) passengers (adults and children) who are traveling together on the same itinerary.

If I check in online, when do I need to arrive at the airport?

Even when you check in online, we need to see you at the check-in desks to complete the current travel requirements.

At most airports, you need to arrive 3 hours before departure. However, currently it can be up to 6 hours at some airports, so please check your ticket for the best time to arrive for your trip.

Remember to give yourself enough time to reach your departure gate so you don’t miss your flight.

Can I provide my Known Traveller Number before traveling to or from the USA?

You can provide your Global Entry number/TSA Pre-Check PASSID number (Known Traveler Number) when checking in online and at the check-in desk at the airport. This number enables the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to verify that you are eligible to participate in the TSA Pre-Check program for fast-track screening .

Evacuee forced to leave family dog behind is among flood emergency faces

Consecutive days of rain aren't unusual in southeast Texas. After all, Hurricane Harvey in 2017 changed the region forever.

So, when neighbors north and east of Houston faced rising water levels in the San Jacinto and Trinity rivers, many expressed to ABC13 that they could get through this.

On Friday, those residents in places like Conroe, Kingwood, northern Liberty County, and River Plantation essentially said the same thing: We've never seen anything like this.

The video above is the ABC13 Houston's 24/7 Streaming Channel.

Eyewitness News traveled to those communities as neighbors made sudden exits from their homes and lamented what they left behind, including, in one instance, the heartbreaking decision involving a family pet.

ABC13 also spoke to a few of the rescuers who jumped into action during Harvey and did it again during these desperate times.

Heartbreaking decision

ABC13's Mycah Hatfield reported from Plum Grove in Liberty County, where boats were launched to evacuate stranded families.

Nicole Rose, among the evacuees, explained she and her family had to make a tough decision about their Great Dane named Mya, who's pregnant with pups.

With the family and five other dogs already evacuated, Rose's husband canoed back to their home to retrieve Mya before the flood took over, but she said the canine was too heavy to make it on the vessel.

Rescue crews also went back but couldn't find Mya.

"It's kind of surreal and heartbreaking to know that us and our four kids have lost basically everything at this point," Rose said.

But there's a happy ending amid the tragedy. Rose told ABC13 that she and her husband went back out, broke a window to get inside their house, and found Mya alive. They plan to return on Saturday, but she said Mya is safe inside a bed for the night.

ABC13's Adam Winkler set out for River Plantation in Montgomery County, a subdivision nestled next to the West Fork of the San Jacinto River.

It was there that Winkler met with a drone operator, whose father was driven out of that neighborhood. The drone operator said he used a canoe to rescue people during Harvey, but this time around, the remote-operated craft proved to be useful to his neighbors, desperate to know if their homes are safe as they wait out the flood.

Staying in Montgomery County, ABC13's Pooja Lodhia went out to Porter for a harrowing survival story.

Amid the rainfall on Friday, Destiny Deacon and her three kids woke up to a loud bang that turned out to be something a lot dangerous if they were in a different position - a large oak tree crashing into their home.

Deacon said the tree missed her kids' room.

"I'm grateful that nobody was hurt. It's a blessing," she said.

There was a lot more to Deacon's story. Just the day before disaster, she announced to friends and family that she has a baby boy on the way.

Rescued but grief-stricken

ABC13's Jiovanni Lieggi headed to Dolen, a small community about 50 yards from the Trinity River in northern Liberty County.

Entire homes were covered in water, washing away livelihoods in just hours.

Crews reached Linda Young, a retiree who escaped with just the few things she could place in bags and her two dogs.

While she made it out alive, Young was in tears. Not only did she say that she doesn't hold coverage for her home due to her fixed income, she likely lost an irreplaceable gift.

"I left a hand-sewn cape that my mother made for me, and I didn't meet my mother until my 40s," Young explained in tears. "She had made it for me and I had to leave it. I left things I had for all my life, too."

A holdout's regret

The question being asked during nightfall: did people heed officials' warnings to get out?

In the Humble area on North Houston Avenue near the Kingwood line, ABC13's Brooke Taylor witnessed several people getting rescued.

The concrete road connecting the bridge to the homes was underwater. There was no way out other than boat.

One man told ABC13 he wasn't going to evacuate, but he immediately regretted it and realized he made the wrong decision. Then, he saw rescuers outside his home helping his neighbors and knew he had to leave.

When experience helps

Southeast of River Plantation is the small community of Woodloch, where ABC13's Jessica Willey caught up with Kaden Blackburn.

He and his family live in the second to last house on River Ridge just 300 yards from the San Jacinto River.

Their backyard is completely submerged, and water from the rising river has crept into their living room. They have lived through the worst floods.

This time, Kaden said, they had more warning and were able to move out their furniture just in time. There's a point, he said, when he knows it's time for him to go, too.

"When it comes up to here is when it goes to the front of the road," he said, pointing to a spot on the doorway. "We can get trapped in here real easy."

National headline

While no major injuries or deaths have come out in the emergency's early stages, the disaster's grand scale is too hard to ignore.

As part of World News Tonight, Matt Gutman , ABC News' chief national correspondent, arrived in Cleveland, Texas, where he said neighborhoods took on inches of water in just a short amount of time.

Gutman spoke with ABC13 anchors Erik Barajas and Elissa Rivas during Eyewitness News at 6 p.m. on Friday.

Book Review

The Ministry of Time

By Kaliane Bradley Avid Reader Press: 352 pages, $28.99 If you buy books linked on our site, The Times may earn a commission from Bookshop.org , whose fees support independent bookstores.

“People aren’t history,” scoffs Adela, vice secretary of the Ministry, whose work is shrouded in secrecy and subterfuge. This retort comes late in Kaliane Bradley’s debut novel, “The Ministry of Time,” but it’s a telling line. Its dismissal of individual lives reveals the novel’s stakes. If people aren’t history, what is? This is a disturbing statement to come out of the mouth of a high-ranking British bureaucrat. For a book that could also be easily described as witty, sexy escapist fiction, “The Ministry of Time” packs a substantial punch.

Of late, many critically acclaimed books embrace mystery and absurdity in a way that both suspends and expands conventionally held notions of time. Hilary Leichter’s “Terrace Story,” National Book Critics Circle award winner Lorrie Moore’s “I Am Not Homeless If This Is Not My Home,” Ali Smith’s “Companion Piece,” National Book Award winner Justin Torres’ “Blackouts,” and Marie-Helene Bertino’s “Beautyland,” among others, forge poignant, bracing emotional connections. Their playfulness reveals possibilities and perspectives that might be lost in a novel bound by fact-checked 21st century reality. After all, in a world where nothing feels normal, fiction that embraces a disregard for physics and convention mirrors our new upside-down quotidian life.

To this end, Kaliane Bradley proves that it’s possible to address imperialism, the scourge of bureaucracy, cross-cultural conflict and the paranoia inherent in a surveillance state through her utterly entertaining novel. “The Ministry of Time” begins with a sixth-round job interview for an undisclosed position. The unnamed narrator is caught off guard when “the interviewer said my name, which made my thoughts clip. I don’t say my name, not even in my head. She’d said it correctly, which people generally don’t.” For the narrator, who “plateaued” as a “translator-consultant” in the Languages department of the Ministry of Defense, this top-secret job that pays three times her current salary is worth the mystery.

Soon the work is disclosed. The narrator, whose mother immigrated to the United Kingdom from Cambodia, will be working closely with people who might bristle at the term “refugees.” She’s now part of the Ministry of Expatriation working with one of five “expats” scavenged from the past. Confident in her storytelling, Bradley sweeps away the details of how and why time travel exists in the novel.

A disorienting, masterful, shape-shifting novel about multiracial identity

Rachel Khong’s irresistible puzzle of a second novel suggests it is a mistake to think we can force complex, nature-nurture identities in a chosen direction.

April 22, 2024

“All you need to know is that in your near future, the British government developed the means to travel through time but had not yet experimented with doing it.” With that, from the jump, readers and characters alike are asked to take a leap of faith as the narrator assumes the role of a “bridge” between an “expat” and modern life. The larger purpose of her work is elusive to her as well, but, in short, the narrator is tasked to be the roommate of an explorer named Commander Graham Gore who died on a doomed Royal Navy Arctic exhibition in 1847. He’s mannered, understandably jumpy, but also rather sexy for someone who died close to 200 years ago. Will this be an odd sort of meet-cute, or is something more chaotic afoot?

Buckle up, the ride has just begun. Juggling notions of “hereness” (the present) and “thereness” (the past), the novel’s five expats come to grips — or not — with the fact that they have been snatched from the past. The ministry selected individuals who were on the point of death so that their departures from the past would in no way rupture their historic timelines. But how would they affect the present? The bridges take notes, and medical examinations are de rigueur, but these collected data are merely passed along without much in the way of analysis.

The expats and bridges adjust to life together in a largely amusing fashion, sharing lovely homes provided by the ministry, visiting pubs, learning about the very existence of cinema. Music streaming services are a hit, but, generally speaking, the expats find it hard to accept the scale of modern life. Whether this is due to some physical mutation created by the process of time travel or if it’s merely the challenge of cultural displacement for people “loose as dust in narrative time,” true fissures begin to surface.

In a manner that feels wholly unsurprising to the reader, suspicions arise as to the nature of the project. Why exactly is there a need for secrecy and what are the particulars about this ability to time travel that we’re asked to tacitly accept? Tensions also flare between the narrator and another bridge, Simellia, who are the two people of color in this tightly knit circle. The specter of imperialism looms and informs a certain tension between the narrator and Gore. Yet, as a green bureaucrat, happy to rise in the ranks, she confronts Simellia, saying, “You signed up for this job… [knowing], as much as I did, that what we were doing was world-changing. That’s what you wanted, remember? Do you think the world changes by being asked politely? Or do you think there has to be risk?”

But this brash confidence begins to waver. The narrator recognizes, “Every time I gave Graham a book, I was trying to shunt him along a story I’d been telling myself all my life.” Then she notes that the ministry “fed us all poison from a bottle marked ‘prestige’ and we developed a high tolerance for bitterness.” While the book does assume some obvious postures of university level post-colonial theory and language, it moves past these more cliched moments by focusing its attention on the characters. A tight narrative rich with witty banter, cutting observations and interspersed passages from Gore’s doomed expedition also keep the novel taut.

“Maybe I was tired of stories, telling them and hearing them,” muses the narrator. Curiously, while she made languages her profession (hence her tendency to consider that “the great project of Empire was to categorize: owned and owner, coloniser and colonised, evolué and barbarian, mine and yours.”), her antagonistic younger sister became a writer. Finding herself falling in love with Gore, the narrator becomes the story, upending history.

As the story’s momentum builds into that of a spy thriller, Bradley pulls off a rare feat. “The Ministry of Time” is a novel that doesn’t stoop to easy answers and doesn’t devolve into polemic. It’s a smart, gripping work that’s also a feast for the senses. An assassination, moles, questions of identity and violence wreak havoc on our happy lovers and the bubble they create in London. Yet our affection for them is as fresh and thrilling as theirs is for one another, two explorers of a kind, caught in a brilliant discovery. Bradley’s written an edgy, playful and provocative book that’s likely to be the most thought-provoking romance novel of the summer. Check your history: That’s no small feat.

We'll have a 14-hr layover, and want to book the capsule hotel in Terminal E in advance. I've tried to call them, but I do not speak Russian, and no one was able to assist me in English. I was also unable to make reservation on-line. I would appreciate any fellow traveler's experience in booking this capsule hotel in Terminal E.

Did you try to email them at [email protected], [email protected] or leave a message via the web feedback form? Maybe it will be easier to communicate in written.

I did leave a message via web feedback with no response. No, I haven't tried to email them. I'll try the latter. Thanks Marassa!
