Cheap Flights from Zagreb to Dubai — $163

Zagreb Airport (Franjo Tuđman) is Croatia’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, making it the primary hub for inbound flights to the capital region. Located about 10–15 km southeast of the city center, transit options usually include taxis (roughly 20–30 minutes), airport shuttle buses with journey times around 30–40 minutes, and occasional ride-hailing services; fares can vary but shuttle and bus tickets are generally the most economical. The airport is often perceived as competitively priced compared with larger European hubs, with a compact layout that can make transfers straightforward. On the downside, peak-time queues and limited late-night public transport can affect convenience for some travelers.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC), with DXB functioning as the city’s major international hub and DWC positioned for growing low‑cost and cargo traffic. DXB is the main base for full‑service carriers such as Emirates and flydubai, and typically offers a wide choice of premium and connecting flights; fares from DXB can be competitive on long‑haul routes. The airport lies about 15–20 km from downtown Dubai; metro and airport express buses usually take 20–40 minutes (fares commonly range from a couple of AED to around AED 25 depending on class), while taxis take roughly 15–30 minutes. DXB’s strengths are frequency and connectivity, with plentiful lounges and shopping, though it can be busy at peak times. Al Maktoum (DWC) sits farther southwest, around 35–45 km from the city center and is often used for budget, charter and cargo services; travel from DWC can take 40–60+ minutes by car or shuttle, with fewer public transport options but often lower airport fees and less terminal congestion. Both airports can be practical depending on schedule, airline choice and tolerance for transfer time.
