Lusaka’s main gateway, Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (LUN), functions as Zambia’s primary international hub and handles most long‑haul and regional services; it typically hosts flag carriers and a mix of full‑service and regional airlines. The airport sits roughly 25–30 km north of the city center, with road transfers by taxi or ride‑share usually taking 30–50 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the range of moderate local fares; some hotels offer shuttle services. LUN can be convenient for onward connections but may feel quieter outside peak hours, while facilities are generally adequate though not as extensive as larger African hubs. A smaller domestic airport in the city is occasionally used for local charters.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub known for long-haul and premium carriers—Emirates has a heavy presence—while Al Maktoum International (DWC) functions more as a growing secondary airport with an emphasis on cargo and budget/international low-cost services. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre; the Dubai Metro Red Line connects terminals with journeys typically around 15–20 minutes and fares roughly AED 3–8 depending on class and zone, with taxis taking 15–25 minutes at higher cost. DWC is farther out, near Jebel Ali, typically 35–50 km from central Dubai; transfers can be by taxi (40–60 minutes) or occasional shuttle services, often making DWC less convenient but potentially cheaper for low-cost carriers. DXB is generally more comfortable and well-equipped with lounges and shopping, while DWC can offer lower-priced options and less congestion—trade-offs are usually between convenience and cost.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Lusaka to Dubai is $325 (October 2025), while the maximum is $388 (December 2025). On average, a ticket costs $351–$728.
