Cheap Flights from Dubai to Mangalore Starting at $96

Dubai is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers—Emirates and many global airlines—so fares can be mid-to-high depending on demand. It lies about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai; the Dubai Metro’s Red Line connects the airport to the city in roughly 30–45 minutes with fares typically in the low single digits, while taxis take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Al Maktoum International (DWC) is a newer, growing airport positioned for budget and cargo expansion and can be farther from central districts (around 35–50 km). Ground links to DWC are developing; bus and taxi rides may take 40–60+ minutes and can be cheaper for low-cost carriers. Pros: DXB offers extensive amenities and frequent connections; DWC may offer lower-cost options but is less central and has fewer services.

Mangalore International Airport (IXE) functions as the region’s primary airport, handling a mix of domestic services and international flights to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It typically attracts full-service carriers and regional budget airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on route and season. The airport sits about 13–15 km northwest of Mangalore city centre; taxis and app-based cabs usually take 25–40 minutes, while prepaid taxis and autorickshaws are often available for similar durations. Some hotels offer shuttle services for a fee. Pros: compact terminal and generally short queues make transfers convenient. Cons: limited late-night public transport and fewer long-haul connections compared with larger hubs.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Dubai to Mangalore is $107 (February 2026), while the maximum is $173 (December 2025). On average, a ticket costs $134–$296.
