Dubai International Airport authorities are enforcing stricter baggage rules so you better be aware of these rules to avoid being surprised that your conventional way of packing your baggage may net be suitable anymore.
Effective March 8, 2017, these new rules will be strictly observed at the Dubai International Airport.
These are the new rules:
- No irregular shaped bags
- No oversized bags
- No round bags
- All bags should have a flat surface
According to Ali Angizeh, Vice President of Terminal Operations at Dubai International, "Dubai International provides some of the most sophisticated baggage systems in the world."
"However, even the most technologically advanced systems can be disrupted by irregular shaped or oversized bags. Bags that are round or do not have a flat surface of any kind are by far the largest source of baggage jams. These jams can shut down sections of our system, delay baggage delivery to the aircraft and inconvenience our customers" he added.
According to the rules, round bags that do not have a flat surface will NOT be checked-in.
Dubai Airports has also advised all the airlines operating into the airport regarding the new regulations that will take effect next month.
Passengers with non-compliant baggage will also be given the option to have it repacked in boxes, but, of course you'll gonna need to pay.
So, the next time you'll set your feet at the DXB, be mindful of these new rules to avoid any hassles.
