Cheap Flights from Dubai to Rio De Janeiro — $644

Dubai is served mainly by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub for full-service carriers—particularly Emirates—and a busy point for many long-haul and regional flights; Al Maktoum International (DWC) typically handles some budget, cargo and overflow services and can be used by low-cost carriers. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre, usually reached by metro in roughly 15–25 minutes (fares commonly in a modest range depending on zone) or by taxi in 15–30 minutes for higher but straightforward fares. DWC is farther out, around 35–50 km, with coach and taxi links taking from 40 minutes to over an hour and generally costing more. Pros: DXB offers extensive transfer facilities, lounges and a wide airline mix; DWC can be quieter and cheaper on some routes. Cons: DXB can be very busy at peak times, while DWC’s distance from central Dubai can add time and transport cost.

Rio de Janeiro is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Galeão–Tom Jobim International Airport (GIG) is the main international gateway and a full-service hub for several carriers, typically handling long-haul and regional flights; it sits roughly 20–30 km north of downtown and can be reached by express bus, taxi or rideshare in about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares for buses/airport shuttles are usually modest; taxis/rideshares can be noticeably pricier). Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) functions as a convenient domestic and short-haul terminal closer to the city center, about 2–4 km from downtown, often served by domestic and regional airlines and usually offering shorter transfer times of 10–20 minutes by taxi or public transport. Pros: GIG offers broad international connectivity and full services; SDU is highly convenient for business or short trips. Cons: GIG can be farther and subject to Rio traffic, while SDU has more limited international options and can be busier at peak times.
