Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub, favored by full-service carriers (Emirates, flydubai and many global airlines) and usually regarded as mid-to-high priced for connections; it lies about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, with the Metro taking roughly 10–20 minutes to central stations and taxis costing modestly more. Al Maktoum/Expo (DWC) is positioned as a growing secondary/budget and cargo gateway used by some low-cost and charter operators; it sits about 35–45 km south of the city, reachable by shuttle, occasional buses or taxi in 40–60 minutes at higher fares. Pros: DXB is fast for transfers and rich in amenities; DWC can be quieter and cheaper on some routes but may involve longer road transfers and fewer airline choices.
Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) is Ethiopia’s main international gateway and the region’s primary hub, handling most long-haul and intercontinental services, including a strong network by Ethiopian Airlines. The airport is typically positioned as a full-service, higher-end facility rather than a low-cost outpost, with a range of international lounges and transfer amenities. It sits about 6–8 km southeast of the city centre; taxis and app-based ride services usually take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly varying by season and provider, while airport shuttles or private transfers may be slightly cheaper per passenger for groups. Pros: good connectivity and modern passenger services for transfers; cons: can be busy with variable queues and occasionally longer immigration or baggage waits during peak periods.
