Emirates Contactless
Emirates’ self-check-in and bag drop kiosks at Dubai International (DXB) have now gone touchless further enhancing the contactless journey.

Emirates’ self-check-in and bag drop kiosks at Dubai International (DXB) (which made its debut in September last year) have now gone touchless further enhancing the smart contactless journey for passengers travelling from Dubai.

According to Emirates, the 32 self-service bag drop machines and 16 check-in kiosks can be controlled completely by personal mobile devices without touching the screens; providing a safe and convenient airport experience. The kiosks allow customers to check-in, receive their boarding pass, choose seats on board, and drop off their bags.

New services have also been added to allow passengers to make payments for ancillary purchases, such as additional baggage allowance, directly at the kiosks.

The self-check-in kiosks, placed at the Economy check-in area in Terminal 3, complement the desks manned by Emirates check-in agents to reduce waiting time for customers during peak periods and improve the experience in Dubai. The service is now available to customers travelling to all destinations except to; the US, Canada, China, India and Hong Kong due to additional requirements from these destinations.

Emirates has spared no effort in creating a smart contactless journey for its customers. Travellers can also choose to use its integrated biometric path to breeze through DXB. Utilising the latest facial biometric technology, Emirates passengers can; check-in for their flight, complete immigration formalities, enter the Emirates Lounge and board their flights simply strolling through the airport.

The smart contactless experience continues on board with digital menus available on the Emirates app allowing customers to browse the menus on their personal devices both online and offline; as well as on Emirates’ Wi-Fi portal without needing to purchase a Wi-Fi package.

The Emirates app can also create a preferred playlist with over 4,500 channels on inflight entertainment (IFE) on ice. And sync it to their personal screens on board. Soon, passengers will also be able to control their viewing experience on the IFE screens, with their personal devices.

Emirates has been using smart technology to ensure its customers travel safely. And the airline continues to invest in product and service to provide an unmatched travel experience on ground and onboard.

CROSSROADS Maldives Invites Families to Celebrate Summer Through Play and Learning

Crossroads Maldives summer

In the Maldives, summer isn’t just about white sands and turquoise waters. It’s about creating moments that stay with you long after the sun sets. This year, CROSSROADS Maldives makes sure those moments belong just as much to the kids as to the adults.

At Hard Rock Hotel Maldives and SAii Lagoon Maldives, part of the country’s first multi-island lifestyle destination, children don’t just tag along for the ride. Instead, they take center stage. With two vibrant seasonal programs in full swing, these resorts promise a summer packed with play, discovery, and creativity.

Kids Rock and Roll at Hard Rock Hotel Maldives

Starting 1st June 2025, Hard Rock Hotel Maldives brings back its exciting Camp-Cation for a fifth season. This immersive program welcomes kids and teens aged 4 to 17 to dive into a high-energy mix of activities where they can express themselves, try new things, and have loads of fun.

For example, participants paint, bake cookies, and take on aerial arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They also garden, play music, and learn guitar. In addition, talent shows and dance parties invite them to perform and cheer each other on. Every session lets them shine in their own way.

By combining creativity with movement and music, Camp-Cation helps kids find their rhythm and build confidence. As a result, they walk away with new friendships and unforgettable memories in a stunning tropical setting.

SAii Lagoon Maldives Sparks Creativity and Adventure

Just across the lagoon, SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton launches its seasonal kids’ program from 15th July to 15th September 2025. Like its sister property, this vibrant experience invites young guests to explore, play, and connect with the world around them through hands-on learning and exciting challenges.

Each day offers a new adventure. Kids compete in Amazing Race-style games, experiment with mocktail mixology, and dive into arts and crafts. Meanwhile, they move, create, and laugh their way through the summer.

Moreover, the resort recently added a Padel Tennis court, opened in March 2025, which gives children the chance to try a fun, fast-paced sport that’s gaining popularity across the globe.

For those drawn to the sea, young marine explorers can join snorkeling sessions and interactive ocean discovery classes, where trained instructors guide them through the magical underwater world of the Maldives. These hands-on activities not only entertain but also help kids develop a deep appreciation for marine life.

A Summer to Remember for the Whole Family

What sets these programs apart isn’t just their creativity. Rather, it’s their purpose. The resorts encourage kids to explore new interests, learn through play, and celebrate their talents. In turn, every moment supports their growth and helps them build joyful memories. At the same time, while the kids stay busy discovering, parents get to unwind, knowing their children are enjoying enriching, age-appropriate adventures in a safe and supportive environment.

In the end, CROSSROADS Maldives offers more than a beautiful holiday. It creates a place where families connect, where kids thrive, and where every summer moment tells a story worth remembering.
