Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary global hub, handling most long-haul and connecting flights and serving major legacy carriers alongside full-service Middle Eastern airlines; it can be pricier than nearby low-cost options but is often competitively priced for transcontinental routes. Located roughly 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, typical transfers include the Dubai Metro Red Line (about 15–25 minutes, low fixed fares), taxis (20–30 minutes, metered fares), and app-based ride services; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Pros: extensive airline choices, frequent services, and large terminal amenities. Cons: busy terminals and potentially longer waits at peak times. Al Maktoum International (DWC), also known as Dubai World Central, functions as a growing secondary and budget-friendly gateway focusing on cargo, low-cost carriers, and some charter services; it can be a lower-cost option for leisure travelers. The airport lies about 35–50 km southwest of central Dubai, so travel tends to be longer — expect 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic and limited public transport options, with private shuttles or taxis being the usual choices and fares varying by provider. Pros: less crowding and modern infrastructure. Cons: greater distance to the city and fewer airline or transit options compared with DXB. Sharjah International (SHJ) often serves as an alternative for budget carriers and regional flights to and from the Dubai area, attracting price-conscious passengers seeking lower fares than mainline hubs. It is situated approximately 15–25 km from central Dubai; typical transfers include taxis (20–35 minutes, metered), airport buses, and some shared shuttle services, with journey times dependent on traffic and fares set by local operators. Pros: frequently cheaper tickets and a quieter terminal experience. Cons: border checks and extra transit time can reduce convenience for tight connections to Dubai’s city center.

Seoul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Incheon International Airport (ICN) functions as the international hub and premium gateway for long-haul and many full-service carriers, often perceived as mid-to-high range for fares on intercontinental routes. It sits about 45–60 km west of central Seoul; travel times by AREX express are roughly 45–55 minutes (premium trains), while airport buses and taxis can take 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service level. ICN is typically praised for comfort, extensive facilities and smooth transfers but can add time to your trip due to distance. Gimpo Airport (GMP) handles many domestic and short-haul flights and is used by low-cost and full-service airlines on regional routes. Located around 15 km from downtown, it’s usually a faster option for city access—AREX or metro links take about 20–30 minutes, and buses or taxis are often comparable in time with modest fares. Gimpo can be more convenient for quick connections to Seoul but offers fewer international amenities compared with Incheon.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Dubai to Seoul is $255 (March 2026), while the maximum is $307 (May 2026). On average, a ticket costs $260–$270.
