Cheap Flights from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi Starting at $137

Bangkok is served by two main airports that cater to different needs. Suvarnabhumi (BKK) is the international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some regional airlines; it’s usually viewed as the more full-featured and slightly pricier option. Located about 30–40 km east of downtown Bangkok, travel time by Airport Rail Link or car can range from 25 to 60 minutes depending on traffic, with rail fares typically low and taxis or ride-hailing costing more. Don Mueang (DMK) functions mainly as a budget and domestic gateway, favored by low-cost carriers and short-haul services. It sits roughly 20–25 km north of the city centre, often 30–50 minutes by road; local buses and taxis are common and generally inexpensive. Pros: Suvarnabhumi offers modern facilities and a faster rail link; Don Mueang can be quicker for domestic or budget travelers with fewer crowds and lower fees. Cons: Peak-hour road transfers to either airport can be slow, and transfers between the two airports may add time and cost to itineraries.

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international hub, serving full-service carriers like Etihad alongside various regional and low-cost airlines; it typically handles long-haul and transfer traffic and can be pricier than nearby budget airports. The airport sits about 30–40 km east of the city center, with taxi rides usually taking 30–45 minutes (fares often in the mid-range for the UAE) and bus services or airport shuttles taking around 45–60 minutes at lower cost. Pros include modern terminals, good transfer facilities and a wide route network; cons can be longer transfer times to the city and occasional peak-time queues. For very low-cost options or domestic-only travel, smaller regional airports can sometimes offer cheaper fares, though with more limited connections.

Fly nonstop from Bangkok to Abu Dhabi for the quickest, most convenient way to get between Thailand and the UAE — ideal if you value saving time and avoiding the hassle of connections. While multi-leg itineraries can sometimes offer lower fares, a direct flight delivers greater comfort and a smoother travel day, making it worth considering when booking.
