Cheap Flights from Riga to Dubai — $157

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and the newer Al Maktoum/ Dubai World Central (DWC), with DXB functioning as the city’s major international hub and DWC growing as a budget and cargo-focused alternative. DXB typically hosts full-service carriers and premium long-haul flights alongside many regional and low-cost operators, while DWC often attracts low-cost carriers and freight services. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city centre, reachable by metro (about 15–25 minutes, modest fares) or taxis (20–40 minutes, higher fares), and offers extensive lounge and transfer facilities; DWC is farther out (roughly 35–50 km), with travel times of 40–60+ minutes by car and more limited public transit options. Pros: DXB is highly connected with frequent services and quick transit links; DWC can be quieter and sometimes cheaper but may require longer commutes and fewer amenities.

Trains are not currently a main option. Travelers usually find the terminal compact and easy to navigate, which can be quicker but offers fewer amenities than larger hubs; budget-conscious flyers often appreciate competitive fares, while business travelers value the short transfer times to central Riga.
