Dubai-based airline flydubai has launched a new Travel Shop in Sharjah, introducing a City Check-in service for the first time in the emirate. The move aims to offer added convenience for passengers across the Northern Emirates.
First city check-in
The new service enables passengers to check in their baggage, choose their seats, and receive their boarding passes up to 24 hours in advance and no later than six hours before departure.
The goal is to help reduce airport congestion and ease the travel process during busy periods.
