Dubai is served by two main airports that cater to different traveler needs. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting major carriers such as Emirates and many global airlines; fares can be mid-to-high depending on season. It sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai and is usually reachable by metro in roughly 20–30 minutes (fares vary by zone), by taxi in 15–30 minutes (metered rates), or by airport buses. Al Maktoum/ Dubai World Central (DWC) is a newer, growing airport positioned for budget and cargo expansion and often serves low-cost and charter operators; it’s around 35–45 km from the city center, usually a 30–60 minute drive, with fewer public transport links and limited bus or shuttle options. DXB offers more frequent services and city access, while DWC can be quieter and cheaper but less convenient for central transfers.
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) is Lagos’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s principal hub for long-haul and regional flights. It usually handles a mix of full-service carriers and some regional or low-cost operators, with fares that can range from economy to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits roughly 20–25 km from Lagos city centre; travel times are often 45–90 minutes by car depending on traffic, with shared taxis, app-based ride services and airport buses available—expect fares to vary widely. Pros: direct international connections and range of services. Cons: congestion and variable transfer times can affect comfort and punctuality.
