Ah cheers for the info Zol. I remeber which one you are talking about, just on the right after immigration yes? The few times I tried to use it was empty! probably a relection that most of my flights are early morning the the locals cannot be bothered working at that time!

I'll be transiting next Monday night, so what's the easy way to find an office in the 'secured' zone (departing) ?
It seems that my EK382 to HKG on Tuesday early morning is running an A380, so I'll be flying from T3A. So any office between BC arrival/transfer and departing A gates. It would be great to get it working before my return as I got an overnight stop on my way back.

So went through immigration at Terminal 3 First/BC checkin, E-gate desk unmaned, went into the office only to be laughed at by two Emirati's telling me its only done in the morning. Typical lazy attitude the locals have, if only they had no oil they'd actually have to do a proper job at work. Gits

How do you get a magic "E" Gate card?
Hi All, I have been trying to find out how I can register for an "E" Gate card. I am EK Gold and according to EK website as a UK passport holder I can get my mits on one of these "E" gate things. Can anyone offer any advise about how I do this?

You need your passport, residence visa page, emirates ID card a passport photo and about 160 dirhams and go to the office at dnata on szr or at the airport, takes 5 minutes.

If at the airport, get out... Go to the departure entrance doors (close to drop off area). There's a big yellow desk in the middle before the checking area, with emiratis in traditional outfit. That's the right place.
10mn to get their attention, 2 mn to issue it. Passport and Gold card needed.
The other tricky part: you don't need the gold card to go thru E-gates, only your boarding pass !

Just to point out - you don't be need to have an Emirati Id card. As long as you are from an eligible country, you will be OK.
