Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub that typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers such as Emirates and many full-service international airlines. It usually feels busy and offers a wide range of lounges, shopping and transit connections, and is located about 10–15 km from the city centre — the metro can take roughly 15–25 minutes with fares usually in the low single-digit dirhams, while taxis are faster (15–30 minutes) but can cost considerably more. For budget or regional links, Al Maktoum International (DWC) at Dubai South can be used by some low-cost and cargo operators; it lies farther out (around 40–60 km), often requiring 40–60 minutes by car or shuttle with variable transfer costs. DXB is convenient for quick access and abundant services, while DWC can be quieter and cheaper for some carriers but less central and with fewer public-transport options.

Kuala Lumpur is primarily served by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), the country’s main international hub handling full-service carriers and many regional flights, while Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) near Subang often caters to turboprops, private jets and some budget or domestic services. KUL sits about 45–55 km south of the city center; the KLIA Ekspres train typically makes the trip in around 28 minutes to KL Sentral, while taxis and ride-hailing can take 45–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and time. SZB is closer (roughly 20 km) with shorter taxi rides but fewer long‑haul options. Pros: KUL offers wide international connections and modern facilities; SZB can be quicker for domestic or private travel. Cons: KUL can be a longer transfer in heavy traffic; SZB has limited airline choice and amenities.
