You can’t queue for Dragonflight dungeons if you are a level 60 character who doesn’t own the Dragonflight expansion, or if you have used a level boost on your character and the 24-hour waiting period hasn’t passed, or if you are a Dracthyr and haven’t completed the Introduction quests. The level requirements for Dragonflight dungeons are straightforward: level 60 or above for leveling and Normal mode, and level 70 for Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+ modes.
