Which terminal is Emirates?

Dubai International (DXB) is our home hub. Your Emirates flight will arrive at and depart from gates A, B or C at our own Emirates Terminal 3. Inside, palm lined walkways lead you out into the city beyond or on to your next flight.



As of 2026, Emirates operates primarily out of dedicated, world-class facilities at its global hubs. At its home base, Dubai International Airport (DXB), Emirates exclusively uses the massive Terminal 3, which is one of the largest airport terminals in the world and includes concourses A, B, and C specifically designed to handle their fleet of A380s. At London Heathrow (LHR), Emirates is located in Terminal 3, where it also maintains a flagship luxury lounge for premium passengers. In the United States, at New York (JFK), Emirates operates out of Terminal 4, which is a major international gateway. Because terminal assignments can occasionally shift due to airport renovations or alliance changes, passengers in 2026 are always encouraged to check their digital boarding pass on the Emirates app 24 hours before departure to confirm the most current gate and terminal information for their specific flight.

Finally, in economy class... Going with the same logic of the upper deck providing the best views with a less dense cabin layout, the best seats are certainly upstairs. As you may have guessed, sitting in the front row would provide slightly more legroom for passengers, so seats 70A, 70K, 80A, and 80K are ideal.
