Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central–Al Maktoum (DWC). DXB is the region’s major international hub, typically handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates, Flydubai and many global airlines; fares from DXB can be mid-to-high range depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, with the metro taking roughly 15–25 minutes and taxis or ride-shares usually 15–30 minutes; metro fares are modest while taxis/ride-shares are more variable. Pros: extensive transfer options, many lounges and retail choices; cons: busy terminals and sometimes long walking or transfer times. DWC is positioned as a lower-cost and cargo-oriented airport on the city’s outskirts, around 40–60 km from the centre. It typically hosts budget and charter services, and can be cheaper on some routes. Ground connections are less frequent than DXB; bus services and longer taxi rides can take 40–60+ minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually higher than metro trips. Pros: quieter terminals and easier parking; cons: longer transfers and fewer amenities compared with DXB.
