The map can detect the user’s location (via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) and provide point-to-point navigation through all touchpoints of the airport including check-in desks, Emirates lounges, shops, restaurants or ATMs in the airport.

The new feature maps out Emirates’ hub - Dubai International Airport’s Terminal 3 – and also includes major airports in the Emirates network - London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Hong Kong International airport.

In the last year, the Emirates app has been enhanced with new technology allowing customers to create playlists of their inflight entertainment ahead of their travels and sync it to their seats once onboard.

The Emirates app is free to download on iOS or Android devices.
