Cheap Flights from Cologne to Abu Dhabi Starting at $134

Abu Dhabi International (AUH) serves as the emirate’s main international gateway and is typically positioned as a full-service hub handling most long-haul and regional flights, with carriers like Etihad Airways alongside several major international airlines. Yas Island’s smaller Al Bateen Executive handles private and business aviation. AUH sits about 30–35 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; road transfer by taxi or ride-hail usually takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be moderately priced compared with regional hubs, while airport buses and hotel shuttles offer cheaper alternatives with longer journey times. Pros: modern facilities, plentiful lounges and dining options; cons: peak-hour road congestion and a longer transfer than some city airports.

Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the main international gateway for the Cologne region but often operates on a more compact, easy-to-navigate scale than larger German hubs. It typically hosts a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 15 km southeast of Cologne city center; regional trains and S‑Bahn services take roughly 15–20 minutes, taxis or rideshares around 20–30 minutes, and buses are a cheaper option — expect modest fares for public transit. Pros: straightforward layout and fast transfer times into town. Cons: fewer long-haul options and occasional crowding during peak holiday periods.
