Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central–Al Maktoum (DWC). DXB is the city’s major international hub and a premium transfer point for long-haul and regional carriers—Emirates, flydubai and many global airlines operate frequent services—so fares can range from competitive to premium depending on carrier and timing. Located about 10–15 km from downtown Deira and roughly 15–20 km from Dubai Marina, transfers by metro or taxi take about 15–30 minutes; the Red Line metro connects Terminal 1 and 3 (fares usually a few AED), while taxis are quicker but cost more. Pros: excellent connectivity, extensive lounges and shopping; cons: busy terminals and sometimes long walking or transfer times. DWC, farther southwest near Dubai World Central (about 35–45 km from central Dubai), typically handles low-cost, charter and cargo flights and can be cheaper for budget carriers. Travel from DWC to the city can take 40–60+ minutes by road depending on traffic; limited public transit options mean shuttle services, coaches or taxis are common and may be more economical but less frequent. Pros: quieter and newer facilities; cons: longer ground travel and fewer transfer choices.
Athens International Airport (ATH) is Greece’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub for both legacy carriers and many European network airlines, while also handling a fair share of low-cost services. It sits about 20 km east of the city center, with the suburban rail and express bus linking to Syntagma or the central rail hub in roughly 40–50 minutes; taxi rides normally take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by time and route. The airport typically offers good amenities, frequent intercontinental connections and easy onward transfers, though peak summer crowds and occasional wait times at security can reduce comfort. For very budget-conscious travelers, nearby island and charter options may sometimes feel cheaper seasonally.
