Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Dubai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary global hub, handling most long‑haul and full‑service carriers including Emirates and numerous international airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high depending on season. It sits about 10–15 km from the city center, with the Dubai Metro, taxis and airport buses typically taking 15–30 minutes; metro fares are low, taxis moderate and airport express/bus services can be cheaper. DXB’s strengths are frequency and connectivity, while it can be busy at peak times. Al Maktoum/Al Maktoum International (DWC) operates more budget and charter flights and some cargo traffic; located roughly 35–50 km from central Dubai, transfer times by road are around 30–60+ minutes depending on traffic, with fewer public transport links and potentially lower-cost flight options. DWC can be more convenient for low-cost or cargo-focused itineraries but may require longer transfers and less frequent services.
Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the emirate’s main international gateway and typically functions as a full-service hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights including a strong presence of Etihad and other network carriers. Low-cost operators sometimes use the airport too, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and timing. The terminal sits about 30–40 km from downtown Abu Dhabi; taxis and app‑based ride services usually take 25–40 minutes, while bus routes can take 45–60 minutes for lower fares. Pros: modern facilities, good transfer connections and lounges. Cons: longer road transfers than some city airports and possible peak-hour road congestion.
