Medellín is served primarily by José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), the main international gateway located about 35–45 km southeast of the city center in Rionegro; travel times can range from 35 to 60 minutes by taxi or private transfer depending on traffic, with shuttle buses and airport coach options typically costing less than private rides. MDE handles the bulk of long-haul and premium regional services, including full-service and a number of international carriers, so fares can be mid-to-high compared with domestic airports. For quick city access, Olaya Herrera Airport (EOH) sits a few kilometers from downtown and usually supports domestic and budget regional flights; short taxi rides or a rapid local bus can take 10–20 minutes. Pros: MDE offers more international connections and modern amenities, while EOH is convenient for business travelers and short domestic hops. Cons: MDE’s distance and variable road traffic can add transfer time and cost, whereas EOH has limited international service and fewer ground transport options.

Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers — Emirates, flydubai and many global airlines — and can be pricier on average due to high service levels; it sits about 14 km from downtown Dubai with metro, taxis and ride-hail links typically taking 15–30 minutes (metro fares and taxis vary by class and distance). Al Maktoum/Dubai World Central (DWC) functions more as a growing budget and cargo-focused gateway that can attract low-cost carriers and some charter services; it is farther out (around 45–55 km), reachable by shuttle, taxi or rental car in roughly 40–60 minutes with lower per-trip fares but longer transfer time. Pros: DXB offers extensive connections and frequent public transport, while DWC can be less crowded and cheaper; cons: DXB can be busy at peak times and DWC’s greater distance means added ground time and fewer transit choices.

In different months, ticket prices from Medellin to Dubai vary: minimum — $534 (May 2026), maximum — $574 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $554–$574.
