Which airline can fly direct from Sanya to Dubai?

Dubai is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the primary international hub, favoured by full-service carriers—especially Emirates—and commonly used for long-haul and business travel; it sits about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, with the metro taking roughly 15–25 minutes and fares typically in the low single-digit dirham range, while taxis cost more but are direct. Dubai World Central/Al Maktoum (DWC) is newer and often handles budget and cargo flights as well as overflow from DXB; it’s farther out around 35–45 km, so transfers can take 40–60+ minutes by road. Pros: DXB offers extensive connections and frequent public transport; DWC can be quieter and cheaper on low-cost carriers. Cons: DXB can be busy and crowded at peak times; DWC’s peripheral location may mean longer ground transfers and fewer immediate amenities.
