Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the region’s main international gateway, combining full-service carriers and a strong low-cost airline presence, so fares can be competitive compared with larger hubs. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of Cologne’s city center; travel times are typically 20–30 minutes by regional train or S-Bahn, and around 25–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. Public transport fares are generally modest, while taxis and ride-shares cost more. The airport is compact and easy to navigate with basic shopping and dining; this makes it convenient for quick connections and budget-minded travelers, though fewer long-haul options and limited late-night services can be downsides.
Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary global hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many full-service international airlines; it can be perceived as mid-to-high priced for services and transfers. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, with the Metro (15–25 minutes), taxis (20–35 minutes) and airport shuttles available; fares typically range from modest metro ticket prices to mid-range taxi fares depending on time and traffic. Strengths include extensive connectivity and modern facilities; drawbacks can be crowds and occasional peak-hour delays. Dubai World Central–Al Maktoum (DWC) functions more as a growing secondary airport and cargo hub that also caters to some low-cost and charter carriers, often associated with lower fares for budget routes. Located roughly 40–60 km south of the city center in Dubai South, DWC is reachable by shuttle services, taxis (about 45–60+ minutes) and a limited bus network; transfers can be longer and costlier than DXB depending on traffic. Advantages are less congestion and newer infrastructure; downsides include fewer direct public-transport options and longer transfer times to central Dubai.
