Transit Pack for Abu Dhabi Layover (Airport Pickup + 1-Night at 5-Star Dusit Thani Hotel + Breakfast)

📌 Hotel with 24-hour access from your preferred check-in time
📌 Start your Abu Dhabi itinerary comfortably with a private airport pickup
📌 Make the most of your short trip to Abu Dhabi with various tours available

For those traveling to Europe, the Maldives, or other countries
via Abu Dhabi using airlines like Emirates (EK) or Etihad Airways (EY),
many have asked how to make the most of a roughly one-night layover.

First, let us take a look at the flight schedule for Etihad Airways (EY).
If you depart from Incheon, arrive in Abu Dhabi, and then transfer!
If you arrive in Abu Dhabi on flight EY827, it will be at 05:50 in the morning.
If you plan a one-night stay, after going through immigration and heading to the hotel, you will likely arrive at the hotel around 6:00–7:00 AM.
Arriving at the hotel at 6:00 AM? What should you do? It is not even check-in time yet.

Conversely, when returning to Korea from Europe via Abu Dhabi, flight EY826 departs at 08:45 AM.
Since it is an international flight, if you check in about 3 hours early,
you will conclude that you have to leave your Abu Dhabi hotel very early in the morning.
This creates an awkward schedule where you arrive in Abu Dhabi early in the morning and have to leave early in the morning again.
Depending on how you look at it, it can be a truly terrible flight schedule.

It is for this very reason that many travelers ask how they can make the most of their short Abu Dhabi transit time.
After all, you cannot just wait at the airport all day.
'I am going on a honeymoon to Europe... I want to stay one night in Abu Dhabi on the way, can you help me?'
'Is there a one-night transit program departing from Abu Dhabi Airport?'
'Is it possible to travel around Abu Dhabi in just one day?'
'We arrive in Abu Dhabi at dawn and have to leave at dawn again, what should we do?'

Due to the overwhelming number of inquiries, we have launched the Transit Abu Dhabi product for those needing a layover at Abu Dhabi Airport.



The Transit Abu Dhabi Pack is very simple.

- Abu Dhabi Airport Pickup Service
No matter when you arrive in Abu Dhabi, we will take you to your designated hotel with a private pickup.

- 1 Night at a 5-star Abu Dhabi Hotel and Breakfast
Includes 1 night and breakfast at the 5-star Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi hotel.

- 24-hour Check-in / Check-out Policy
Arriving in Abu Dhabi at 05:50 AM and reaching the hotel around 07:00 AM, only to find you cannot check in—it is frustrating, right?

Do not worry.
The Transit Abu Dhabi hotel allows check-in at 07:00 AM and check-out at 07:00 AM.



Let us take a closer look at the program.

1. Airport Pickup after Abu Dhabi Immigration

Arriving in the unfamiliar Middle Eastern city of Abu Dhabi in the early morning!!
Do not worry about how to get to the hotel.
The Transit Abu Dhabi Pack includes airport pickup.
Once you have collected your luggage and come out, a Travel Forest pickup vehicle will be waiting for you.
You can head to the hotel in a private vehicle just for you.



2. 1 Night and Breakfast at Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi

# A 1-night concept that allows 24-hour use from the time of check-in
Most hotels have a check-in time of 2:00 PM and a check-out time of 12:00 PM.
Following these rules, according to our flight schedule, we would arrive at the hotel around 7:00 AM.
If you wait until the 2:00 PM check-in time, you might save on the cost of one night,
but conversely, if you check in immediately, you end up wasting the cost of a night.
It feels unfair, doesn't it?

That is why Travel Forest has prepared this 24-hour transit program!!
You can check out within 24 hours from your check-in time.
Let us give you an example to make it easier to understand.
If you check in at 7:00 AM, you can check out by 7:00 AM the next day.
If you check in at 10:00 AM, you can check out by 10:00 AM the next day.
Considering the departure/arrival times of Emirates, you would normally have to book 2 nights!
But with the Transit Abu Dhabi Pack, you can solve this problem with just a 1-night stay.

Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi
The accommodation that will host our first night in Abu Dhabi is Dusit Thani Abu Dhabi.
