Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers as well as low-cost airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and European connections while smaller charter and budget flights can also be common. Located about 20 km east of central Athens, the airport is usually reachable by metro (around 40–50 minutes), suburban rail or express bus services (35–60 minutes) and taxis (30–45 minutes), with fares generally ranging from modest public-transport rates to mid-range taxi fares depending on time and route. Travelers can expect relatively modern facilities and frequent flight options, though peak-season crowds and occasional transfer waits can be a downside for those seeking quick city access.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC), with DXB acting as the region’s major international hub and DWC growing as a lower-cost and cargo-focused alternative. DXB typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers — notably Emirates and many global airlines — and can be perceived as mid-to-premium in price because of extensive connectivity and amenities. Located about 10–15 km from the city centre, DXB is reachable by metro (roughly 15–25 minutes, fares around modest metro rates) plus taxis or ride-hailing (20–40 minutes depending on traffic, higher fares). Pros: excellent transfer options, lounges, and shopping; cons: can be busy and involve longer walking or transfer times. Al Maktoum International sits further south near Dubai World Central, usually used for low-cost carriers, charter flights and cargo; it’s around 35–50 km from central Dubai and can be cheaper on some routes. Ground links are developing — buses, taxis and longer shuttle rides are common (travel times often 40–60+ minutes, fares higher than metro) — so convenience can vary depending on your arrival time and onward plans.
