Cheap Flights from Dubai to Bologna — $138

Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is a major global hub for long-haul and connecting traffic, typically handling widebody carriers and full-service airlines (notably Emirates) alongside many international flag and legacy operators; it’s usually perceived as mid-to-upper range on amenities and prices. Located about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, DXB is accessible by Dubai Metro (Red Line) in roughly 15–25 minutes, taxis in 15–30 minutes, and airport buses; fares can range from a few dirhams for metro rides to typical taxi fares depending on time and route. Pros: extensive international connections, wide range of services; cons: can be busy and involve longer walking and queuing times. Al Maktoum International (DWC), also known as Dubai World Central, is positioned as a growing low-cost and cargo-focused airport that can be used for budget and some regional services. It lies farther out—about 35–50 km from the city centre—so ground travel is longer: taxis or ride-shares often take 35–60+ minutes depending on traffic, and shuttle or bus options can be cheaper but slower; fares are typically higher than metro rides given the distance. Pros: generally less crowded and newer facilities; cons: longer transfer times to central Dubai and fewer direct public transport links at present.

While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a direct flight saves time and offers a more comfortable, stress-free trip so you can start exploring Bologna sooner.

Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) is the main international gateway for the Emilia-Romagna region, serving a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines and often positioning as a mid-sized hub for both business and leisure travel. It sits roughly 6–10 km northwest of Bologna’s city centre, with travel times of 15–25 minutes by taxi and about 20–30 minutes by Aerobus shuttle; fares typically range from modest shuttle tickets to moderate taxi fares depending on traffic. Regional trains from nearby stations can also connect you with slightly longer journey times. Pros: compact layout, easy transfers and a decent choice of services; cons: can be busy during peak season and parking or taxis may be more expensive than at smaller regional fields.
