Dubai is served mainly by Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC). DXB operates as a major global hub for full-service carriers—most notably Emirates—and typically handles the bulk of international traffic and premium transfers; fares here can skew mid-to-high compared with budget-focused airports. It sits about 10–15 km from the city centre, reachable by Dubai Metro (roughly 10–20 minutes, fares usually low), taxis (20–40 minutes, moderate cost) and ride-hailing services. Pros: extensive lounges, plentiful transfer connections and wide airline choice; cons: busy terminals and longer walking/transfer times during peak periods. Al Maktoum International (DWC) is positioned as a growing, low-cost-friendly alternative located farther south in Dubai South, often used for budget and some cargo services as the airport expands. It’s considerably more distant from central Dubai—around 50–60 km—so ground travel tends to be longer; coaches and shuttle services typically take about 45–70 minutes and taxis or private transfers cost more due to distance. Pros: newer facilities and lighter crowds that can mean quicker check-in; cons: fewer airlines, limited direct public transport and potentially higher onward transfer times and costs to the city centre.

Baghdad International Airport (BGW) functions as Iraq’s main international gateway and a hub for both full-service and regional carriers, with airlines typically including Iraqi Airways and a mix of Middle Eastern operators. It’s generally perceived as mid-range in pricing compared with more expensive Gulf hubs. The airport sits about 16–20 km south of central Baghdad; taxi rides usually take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and can be metered or negotiated, while shuttle and private transfer options are sometimes available for higher fares. Strengths include direct international connectivity and multiple airline options; downsides can be variable wait times and more limited amenities than larger global hubs.
