Cheap Flights from Zurich to Dubai Starting at $128

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers like Swiss and Lufthansa alongside seasonal and low-cost operators; fares can be relatively premium compared with secondary airports but occasional deals do appear. Located about 10–12 km north of Zurich’s city center, the airport is well connected by a frequent train service (roughly 10–15 minutes to Hauptbahnhof; fares typically range from modest to moderate) as well as regional buses, trams and taxis (20–30 minutes depending on traffic). Travelers often appreciate the efficient terminals, wide range of shops and lounges, and reliable public transport, while drawbacks may include higher on-site prices and busy peak periods.

The cost of a one-way flight from Zurich to Dubai ranges from $140 (December 2025) to $204 (January 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $172–$204.

Dubai is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s major international hub, favored by full-service carriers like Emirates and many global airlines; it’s typically busier and can be pricier on peak routes. DXB sits about 10–15 km from downtown — the metro and taxis take roughly 10–20 minutes (metro fares around a few dirhams, taxis starting higher). Al Maktoum/ Dubai World Central (DWC) is positioned as a growing budget and cargo-friendly airport farther south; low-cost carriers and some charters often use it, with travel to the city taking about 40–60 minutes by road (taxis or airport shuttles, fares vary). Pros: DXB offers extensive connections and amenities; DWC can be quieter and cheaper but less central.
