Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers, and by Al Maktoum/Expo (DWC), which is increasingly used for low-cost and cargo operations. DXB sits close to the city’s main business districts — roughly 10–15 km from downtown — and is well connected by the Dubai Metro (about 15–25 minutes, modest fares), taxis (20–40 minutes, higher fares) and airport buses. DWC lies farther south, often offering cheaper fares with more budget operators but a longer transfer (45–60+ minutes by road). Pros: DXB is highly convenient with many lounges and frequent services; DWC can be less crowded and cheaper but less central and with fewer transit options.
Cancún International Airport (CUN) is the main gateway for the Riviera Maya and functions as a major international hub rather than a small domestic field, handling a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost and charter airlines serving North America, Europe and domestic Mexico. Flights can be competitively priced during shoulder seasons, though peak holiday periods often push fares higher. The airport sits about 16 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) from downtown Cancún and 40–80 minutes to popular resort areas; transport options include shared shuttles and private transfers (commonly priced per person or per vehicle), public buses to the hotel zone (low-cost, ~30–60 minutes) and taxis or ride-hailing (faster but costlier). Pros: extensive international connections and modern facilities; cons: busy peak periods and transfer times to some resorts can be lengthy.
