Dealing with long lines at check-in counters and hauling heavy bags is stressful and time-consuming. Luckily for all passengers, Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) is planning a feature that could make this a thing of the past. Imagine checking in your baggage at a nearby Etihad Rail station, hopping on a train ride to the airport, and arriving ready to walk straight to security.

Though this feature won’t be available until the early 2030s, it’s an exciting glimpse into a future where travelling is all about convenience. And it’s just one part of DWC transformation into a next-generation hub.
