How should you plan arrival time and luggage?
Use the estimated drive time from Dubai International Airport as a planning reference. If you are considering public transport, confirm the full route and any transfers before travelling; the Green Line connections alone are not an airport-to-hotel itinerary.
Metro hours and fares can change, so check the official RTA site before you go. For luggage or a late arrival, compare the confirmed door-to-door options available for your travel time rather than assuming the Metro will fit your flight schedule.
