Matthew Horobin, Director - Brand Engagement, Dubai Airports, said: "Some passengers are unaware of many of Dubai International's more recent facilities and services, like the dedicated Kids' Zone to let children blow off steam, and a major upgrade to provide the world's best airport Wi-Fi. Combined with the amazing special offers this summer, there are plenty of reasons for passengers to arrive early and get their holidays off to a flyer."
When it comes to airport dining, 36 per cent of respondents in a YouGov survey say they don't take advantage of the 150 restaurants at Dubai International. Almost a third (30 per cent) of those passengers say it's because they don't have enough time, while 23 per cent say they aren't sure what options are on offer.

Our menus and outlets are designed to offer choice and I think most passengers would be pleasantly surprised at how quickly we can deliver world-class food and drink, be that at Pret A Manger, giraffe, Jack's Bar and Grill, The Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, Noodle House or Costa Coffee."
Dubai Airports' Horobin added: "Passengers can get all the details about the early birds offers on the dedicated microsite, while our main website dubaiairports.ae is a go-to guide for all of the airport's services and experiences, as well as flight tracking and booking tools. This summer, we can safely say that early birds have more fun at Dubai International."
