With Indian schools having winter break and Dubai being such a popular destination for NRIs and tourists, these numbers make complete sense. Emirates should consider adding more flights from major Indian cities like Delhi and Mumbai.

While the advance warning is appreciated, Emirates should have planned better infrastructure to handle this predictable surge. Many passengers will still face long queues despite these recommendations.
