Passengers flying out of Dubai now have the option of dropping off their bags and collecting their boarding passes at The Dubai Mall.

A new facility offered at the dnata store in the mall will now allow customers to check their bags in for their flights and receive boarding passes, while their bags will be weighed, secured and delivered to the aircraft.

The service is being offered by Dubz, a baggage technology and logistics company and part of dnata, which has opened a check-in station at the mall, at the lower ground level.

Dubz provides its services to the passengers of nine airlines, including flydubai, Saudia, flynas, China Southern, Kuwait Airways, Gulf Air, SaudiGulf, Royal Jordanian, and Ethiopian Airlines.

Flydubai flies to at least five cities in Pakistan -- Faisalabad, Karachi, Multan, Quetta and Sialkot -- and several cities in India, including Delhi and Mumbai.

The service is available from Dh99, which covers the check-in fee for one passenger with one piece of luggage. Additional pieces of luggage can be added for a fee of Dh40 each. The service price is capped at Dh249 covering up to 10 bags.

After collecting their boarding passes and baggage tags, customers can enjoy the various shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities the mall offers to its visitors, and then take the Dubai metro to the airport. These customers can arrive at the terminal up to 60 minutes before their flight, where they can proceed straight to passport control.

The Dubz check in station is open seven days a week, from 10am to 10pm.
