Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub handling long-haul and regional flights for full-service carriers like Emirates and many international airlines; it typically feels premium and can be busier and pricier than nearby alternatives. Al Maktoum International (DWC) operates as a growing secondary airport geared toward low-cost and cargo services, often used for budget or charter connections. DXB is about 15–20 km from downtown Dubai (roughly 15–30 minutes by road off-peak), reachable by Dubai Metro Red Line, taxis and airport shuttles with fares ranging from modest metro fares to higher taxi fares; DWC sits around 40–50 km south of the city (roughly 40–60 minutes by car) and has fewer public transport links, so transfers can be longer and sometimes costlier. Pros: DXB offers extensive lounges, shopping and frequent connections; DWC can be quieter and better for low-cost itineraries. Cons: DXB can be crowded at peak times and prices may be higher, while DWC’s limited public transport can add time and planning for transfers.
