Cheap Flights from Osaka to Dubai Starting at $202

Kansai International Airport (KIX) serves as Osaka’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for long-haul and full-service carriers, while also handling many low-cost and domestic flights. Located on an artificial island about 50 km (roughly 45–60 minutes) from central Osaka, it’s reachable by JR and private rail lines (Haruka and Nankai), airport limousine buses and taxis; rail fares typically range from modest to mid-level depending on service. KIX is usually preferred for international travel and offers broad amenities and frequent connections, though the distance to the city center can mean longer transfer times and occasional higher ground-transport costs. Itami Airport (Osaka International, ITM) functions mainly as Osaka’s domestic and regional airport and typically hosts full-service and low-cost domestic carriers. Situated approximately 15 km north of central Osaka, travel times are often around 20–30 minutes by airport limousine bus, local train plus shuttle, or taxi; fares are generally moderate for buses and higher for private cars. Itami can be convenient for quick domestic hops thanks to its proximity and frequent services, but it handles limited international flights and can be busier during peak domestic travel periods, which may affect check-in and security wait times.

Dubai has two main airports serving different traveler needs. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers (Emirates, flydubai codeshares, many global airlines); it’s typically seen as a full-service gateway with extensive lounges and shopping. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai — the metro or taxis usually take 15–30 minutes depending on traffic, with metro fares often low and taxis mid-range by local standards. Al Maktoum International (DWC), further south near Jebel Ali, is commonly used for budget and cargo flights and can be cheaper on some low-cost routes; it’s roughly 35–50 km from the city, with longer transfer times and limited public transport options (shared buses, longer taxi rides). Pros: DXB offers convenience and connectivity; DWC can mean lower fares but longer transfers and fewer amenities.

In different months, ticket prices from Osaka to Dubai vary: minimum — $227 (October 2025), maximum — $312 (February 2026). Typically, the flight costs $259–$521.
