Cheap Flights from Birmingham to Dubai — $184

Birmingham Airport (BHX) is the region’s main international gateway, serving a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers with frequent connections across Europe, the Middle East and beyond. Located about 13 km (8 miles) southeast of Birmingham city centre, it’s typically viewed as a mid-priced option—often cheaper than London airports but pricier than some secondary UK airports. Ground links include a 15–20 minute train to Birmingham International station (short walk to the terminal) with fares normally in the low single digits, regular local buses taking 30–45 minutes, and taxis or rideshares which can take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: compact terminal layout and good rail connectivity; cons: can be busy during peak periods and parking/transfer costs may add up.

Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s main global gateway and a major long-haul hub, typically serving full-service carriers like Emirates and numerous international airlines, with a wide range of premium and economy connections. Located about 10–15 km from Dubai city centre, journey times by metro or car are usually 15–30 minutes; the Red Line metro runs to Terminal 1/3, taxis take around 15–25 minutes depending on traffic, and rideshare fares can vary but are often comparable to metered taxi rates. DXB is generally seen as a full-service, well-equipped airport with extensive lounges and shopping, though it can be busy at peak times and transfers may involve long walks or shuttle rides. Al Maktoum International (DWC), also known as Dubai World Central, is positioned as a growing low-cost and cargo-focused airport that can be an alternative for budget carriers and some charter services. It lies further out, roughly 35–45 km southwest of the city centre, with road transfers typically taking 40–60 minutes by car; shuttle services and limited public bus links connect to central Dubai, and fares tend to be modest but can increase with distance. DWC can offer quieter terminals and lower airport fees during off-peak periods, though it’s less convenient for quick city access and has fewer international transfer options compared with DXB.
