Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many full-service airlines; it’s typically busier and can be pricier for last-minute fares. Located about 10–15 km from the city centre, DXB is accessible by metro (roughly 15–25 minutes, low-to-moderate fares), taxis (20–40 minutes, mid-range cost) and airport shuttles. Al Maktoum International (DWC), further south near Dubai South (around 45–60 km), often serves low-cost and cargo traffic and can be used for budget or charter carriers; transfers here are longer and may require pre-booked shuttles or taxis. Pros: DXB offers convenience and frequent connections; DWC can be less crowded and cheaper in some cases. Cons: DXB can be busy and hectic, while DWC’s distance adds transfer time and potential extra cost.
Christchurch Airport (CHC) is the South Island’s main international gateway and a practical hub for both full-service carriers and low-cost regional airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. It sits roughly 12 km northwest of the city centre; road transfers by taxi or rideshare usually take 20–30 minutes while public buses can take about 30–45 minutes with fares typically modest. Car rental and shuttle services are widely available for travellers wanting flexibility. Pros include compact terminals that are easy to navigate and frequent flight options to domestic and trans-Tasman destinations; cons can be variable traffic at peak times and fewer late-night international connections than larger global hubs.
