What is ‘Airport Theory’? Why are Dubai passengers losing 3-hour rules before flights? , world News
The rising number of passengers in Dubai is known as a viral social media trend as “the principle of the airport”, which challenges the long -held confidence that passengers should arrive at the airport three hours before departure. With thousands of videos walking online, theory claims that a person can get from the airport entrance to the boarding gate in only 15 minutes, provided certain conditions are met.Now, some UAE-based globeTraters are testing this theory in real life, cutting it more than ever for their boarding time.
Continuous flying
There is no stranger for Dubai resident Mansoor Ali, 50, airport hall. Talking to the local news outlet Khaleej Times, he expressed his dislike for the traditional practice of reaching hours before the take-off. Mansoor said, “I have security officers with me at the door of the plane so that I can catch my flight.”He claims that the viral trend is one of the early adopts. “I think it is unnecessary to arrive at the airport hours ago. I usually check online and take only my hand,” they explained. Whether he travels a single or with his wife and three children, his approach remains continuously.Despite cutting it, he has missed only two flights in the last decade.“Nowadays, I arrive a little early so that I can enjoy some time in the loung.
Airports and airlines weigh
As the trend raised steam globally, it attracted the attention of local airports and airlines.On Tuesday, Dubai International Airport (DXB) posted a chutli video referring to the trend, asking: “Why do you risk a missed flight when you can enjoy a matka at the gate?”Meanwhile, the Emirates Airlines issued a more serious advice last week, urging passengers to come three hours before the peak journey period. The airline cited heavy traffic and large congestion, which is common during the holidays, reasons for following the traditional timeline.In the last few weeks, the region has experienced several flight delays and cancellations due to various reasons. Travel agents have warned flyers to check the flight position in advance and plan an additional time at the airport to avoid surprise.
Not everyone is on board
While some are surrounded by some frequent flying minimum perspectives, many young travelers are alert or even rejecting theory.22 -year -old Emirati Hind Hasan told Katie that she always comes early, sometimes four hours ahead of her flight. He said, “I can always come early in case of additional incidents at the airport, which can cause delay.”“I am dropped down by arriving early and I like to sit at the airport and sit in the lounge, people pass and land and land. Why would anyone want to reach 20 minutes before the boarding and stressing without any reason?”The Hind was strongly against the tendency, calling it a “risky practice”. He said: “It encourages people to arrive a few minutes before boarding. No one can guess what can happen during those moments before reaching the airport, and with any delay you can spend a missed flight, and a lot of money.”
Running an unexpected test of a trickker
Dubai -based Ticketkar Suvaz Giri said that he unknowingly tried the principle of the airport when he returned to the UAE from Nepal earlier this year. He told Katie: “I was early, but at the check-in counter I was informed that the boarding was about to stop. I ran through the airport and reached the gate in less than 15 minutes. ,It is now curious about whether the method keeps in different conditions, Suvaz said that he can try again at the end of this year, but said that it depends on a lot of terminals. “For example, if you are traveling out of terminal 2, it will be an air to go to the gate in 15 minutes,” he said. “But if you are flying from Terminal 3, you need 45 minutes to navigate the airport.”He said, “However, I am eager about the trend and definitely trying when I travel ahead,” he said.
