A different experience
Located at Terminal 3, the new space-themed counters will offer families a different travel experience, by allowing children to stamp their own passports at the dedicated check-in area, with specialised immigration officers available to guide them.
The officers will help facilitate access and respond to any queries that the young travellers may have at the airport.
“On special occasions, the young travellers are received by Salem and Salama, two mascots wearing the uniform of Dubai GDRFA employees,” the GDRFA said.
