Dubai Airport Arrival: e-gate and Emirates Limousine Service

[jainamshah007]

airport looks like a mall

[sfflyer123]

Homer, this is very nice. It is completely in German. I only understood "flughafen"! It seems that at subsequent to this point in 2007, you transition to English with yout trip reports. What prompted you to change from German to English?

[arabsalem1]

this terminal 3,,, in dubai airport ,,, but trermianl 1and 2 are better than this one this the old terminal

[JewelFernandez]

i literally said "WAW"

[truly0phinoy]

[1tigerblood]

[Jennyleichen]

its look almost like Airport of Abu Dhabi

[SDLTQX]

Hab mich schlau gemacht:Die Karte kann entweder direkt an Dubais Flughafen oder in den Airline Centres beantragt werden. Die E-Karte muss persönlich beantragt werden wobei lediglich der Reisepass vorgewiesen werden muss. Man muss nicht in Besitz eines VAE-Residenzvisums sein, um diese Karte in Dubai beantragen zu können!Bereits wenige Minuten nach Antragsstellung kann die Karte entgegen genommen werden.

Du siehst super einfach zu bekommen!Der Preis für die Einreisekarte beträgt 200 AED

[homer3152]

Vielen Dank, hoffe das trifft zu. Hab auf einer Seite der Refierung von Dubau kürzlich noch gelesen, dass dies nur für Personen mit Arbeitsvisum gilt. Werde das aber nächste Woche selbst ausprobieren, wenn alles klappt.

[SDLTQX]

Cool! Dann schreib mal bitte ob es geklappt hat !

[FrAzZzZzZzZeR]

where did u stay in dubai ?

[homer3152]

Usually in different hotels.

[FrAzZzZzZzZeR]

wow u are amazing...wat do u do for a living

[SDLTQX]

Hallo homer3152,

schau mir gern Deine videos an! Werde über  Dubai fliegen und habe auf Hin- und Rückflug jeweils soviel Zeit, dass ich auf jeden Fall ein Hotel nehmen möchte und mir bei dieser Gelegenheit auch ein bissle die Stadt anschauen. Das E- Gate ist ja der Hammer! Super! Wie funktioniert das? Braucht man dafür nen Perso mit Fingerabdruck? Würd mich über ne Antwort freuen! Beste Grüße

[homer3152]

E-Gate ist leider nicht so einfach. Natürlich Perso und Fingerabdruck. Weiß aber nicht, ob z.Zt. jeder den so ohne weiteres bekommt. Da muss man zu einem Schalter in T1 oder außerhalb (DNATA). Am einfachsten wenn man eine Skywards Gold Karte hat..oder Silber. Ob man den noch ohne solche Karte als non-resident bekommt, weiß ich leider nicht.

[SDLTQX]

Danke für Deine Antowrt. Hab mich schlau gemacht und folgendes gefunden:

Die Karte kann entweder direkt an Dubais Flughafen oder in den Airline Centres beantragt werden. Die E-Karte muss persönlich beantragt werden wobei lediglich der Reisepass vorgewiesen werden muss. Man muss nicht in Besitz eines VAE-Residenzvisums sein, um diese Karte in

[homer3152]

Genau so ist es..wenn nicht gerade das System down ist, wie in meinem Falle..aber 200.- Dirham für 2 Jahre mit deutschem Pass kann ich bestätigen:)

[SDLTQX]

Dubai beantragen zu können! Bereits wenige Minuten nach Antragsstellung kann die Karte entgegen genommen werden.Der Preis für diese elektronische Einreisekarte beträgt 200 AED. Sie ist zwei Jahre lang gültig.

Du siehst, jeder der zahlungswillig ist kann das E Gate nutzen! Grüsse

[shinejosn]

emirates is best

[dikkydoo]

Love your videos. Going LHR BKK A380,and am looking forward to it, How do you book chauffeur drive business class?..

[homer3152]

Thank you. Just request it from your Emirates office well in advance!

[homer3152]

Either directly during online booking; or by just calling them:)

[ghimmiwat]

[tutuuuuuuuuu]

das war super wie sie das kommentiert haben:D mit so viel enthusiasmus:D

[homer3152]

Danke:)

[usmail77]

Thank you my friend. May God be with your pure soul forever.

[usmail77]

A great person, always willing to help.

[homer3152]

Thank you very much. I hope you will have a great trip:)

[usmail77]

So,i only have to show my US passport.

Thank you for your kindness.

[usmail77]

US citizen do not need visa to enter Dubai, only the US passport??

Thank you.

[homer3152]

I am neither a US citizen nor a UAE official. But according to the UAE Government website you are correct.

[Kabuki0Kozou]

from what i know, the E Gate are not givin to people who are on a visit visa, it's givin to people who have Resident Visa in the UAE, and for the UAE locals as well, Now the UAE changed the Visa for all countries so read about Visas for UAE before going there

[homer3152]

It is given also to visitors from Visa Waiver Countries, like the EU

[Kabuki0Kozou]

Maybe before, but for what i know now When an EU or American or any Visa waiver are entering the UAE, they have to pay a total of almost 100US$ to get the visa, the Visa thingie in the UAE have totally changed unlike before like EU enter the country and at immigration get stamp and thats it, No they changed now. I dont know how the new system works now

[homer3152]

Your information is (fortunately) not correct as i am just back from there 2 days ago. My e-gate did not work for another reason - so the officer there just gave me a stamp in 20 seconds like before - arrangements for visa waiver countries are unchanged

[123fsx]

i lovvvvve dubai

[maureen0707]

me too!!!!

[homer3152]

Der Airport???

[usmail77]

Countries without the need of a visa, have to do the line, or simply show it and move?

[homer3152]

They have to do the line as well..unless you registered for e-gate before.

[bvb09fan4ever]

OK .. you said it´s 06:00AM ..

was your depature in Düsseldorf and landing At 05:45AM ?

5* greets

[homer3152]

Genau

[hkdiva2015]

I gotta say that the Dubai Airport concourse looks a lot more like a western style shopping mall than an airport, very impressive.

[homer3152]

I a way, yes. Though, compared to Bangkoks new airport, even this one appears to be a little grocery store:)

[98niksh]

Yes, it looks like a shopping mall. My self i say DUBAI INT. AIRPORT is No.1 in my list

[maureen0707]

why do u like Dubai so much??

[homer3152]

It is all in one place..the world´s most fantastic and modern architecture and hotels..at the same time traditional, lively quarters with good people from all over Asia..great food from all over Asia..no needs to worry about safety..the sea and the creek..so many reasons:) And why do YOU like it so much?

[fisnationstate]

Is this the airport that passengers on airline forums say that it has one of the most crowded and chaotic lines? One of the most dreaded stopovers ever, or is it another airport in the Mid East?

[homer3152]

It is exactly this airport that you are referring to:)

[patitunda]

Another good news from Emirates Airline: they are allowing the use of cell phones during the flight. That's amazing! but at the same time, i think that our privacy is gone: just imagine a traveller beside you talking non-stop during the flight!!!!!!

Regards and a Happy Easter from Sao Paulo-Brazil!!

[homer3152]

Happy Easter, my friend, to Sao Paulo too. Actually, if this were definitely true, this would be very bad news and I might change my favourite airline..how should I do my videos anymore with somebody on the neighbour seat nerving me with his phone calls all the time? Many airlines will not allow it for such reasons..and I hope also at Emirates reason will prevail.

[patitunda]

Dear sir,

I have some questions. Plz feel free to answer them (or not).

1) Is that true that u can request your lunch/dinner anytime during the flight (and not necessarily at the time they are serving it) to the crew when u r travelling first class?

2) why there are not any arabian women working as airhostess?? In your videos u can see only crew members from other countries but arab...i think is a matter of culture, arab people like to preserv their women.

[homer3152]

There is nothing wrong with the questions.

ad1)

This is true, and as you said, for first class only. It is nice, especially when you had some nice food in the lounge before and need a little food pause. Drawback: you cannot mix your own plate any more from the various dishes on the trolley, which i also enjoyed.

[homer3152]

ad 2) I had, for instance, FAs from Egypt and other countries with a moslem population (arab or not). The reason you dont see them on film is that i always ask before filming, and as you suggest, FAs with a moslem background usually do not like it..the same factor might also explain that there are not so many of them, although you also have very conservative backrounds in other cultural contexts. Greetings to Brazil!

[DJdublefyne]

you sure do travel alot to dubai lol!

[ngrob30]

I have a university field trip to Dubai in the fall, how did you arrange to use e-gate?

[homer3152]

I am afraid you cannot pre-arrange it. There are various options. If you have an Emirates status card, you get it for free or for a reduced fee. If you come from the set of countries which do not require a vis, you can puchase it for 2 years for some 30 USD. Unfortunately, you have to arrange for that once you are in Dubai. Pls put on some videos of your university trip!!!! What will it be about?

[shelbijack]

Prema.....:-)Gisela

[bvb09fan4ever]

HEy cool danke .

War im Herbst da. im März bin ich erneut da das stimmt mich ja schonmal wieder auf die sehr "übersichtlichen " und "kurzen " gänge zu den Gates ein ;)

Super 5*

[B011M]

i have seen the airport. it is hell of a big one. i saw the shopping area. it is just wonderful. thanks for posting it. it reminds me of my trip.

[murray11999933]

i dont want to be rude in any way but please can you make some films of dubai in english

[homer3152]

I dont take this request as rude:). I just made these videos mainly for home consumption, thats why they are in my mother tongue. Yet, in recent videos on Emirates flights I made my comments in english..just check the one on Emirates Business Class.

[murray11999933]

i did lol it was good how many time u been to dubai

[homer3152]

Did not count:)

[murray11999933]

so i guess a lot

[alexxne]

WOW, that was amazing, where is the rest of the trip please?

[rak04]

Too good! You seem to like Dubai! The video was great and thanks for sharing it with us!

[homer3152]

Thanks! I DO love Dubai:)

[johnnyxXx69]
