Dubai is the epicenter of travel within the Middle East, easily marking it as the most popular destination for tourists and business travelers. The city has a lot to offer with its futuristic attractions to its relaxed beaches.<\/p>

Over 90 million people fly through Dubai International Airport every year making it one of the worlds busiest destinations. The city is a major hub within the region with Emirates Airlines as the flag carrier leading the way.<\/p>

Just a short drive away is Abu Dhabi, the more relaxed capital of the UAE. With its own airline in Etihad, this gives travelers options on two of the best airlines in the world.<\/p>

If you are planning a trip to Dubai or just laying over, we will break down the best airlines to fly.<\/p>

Airports Near Dubai<\/h2>

Dubai is primary served by one international airport, located very close to the city center. The city is also easily reachable from Abu Dhabi, that is only a 1 hour drive away.<\/p>

Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH)<\/td>1 hour<\/td>$125<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>

Many travelers fly out of each airport interchangably and having two major hubs opens a lot more options for travelers. Given the airports size, there are also many restaurants, lounges, duty free shops that you can visit on arrival or layover.<\/p>

When you arrive to the airport you will most likely take a taxi into the city and note there are several ride sharing options as well.<\/p>

Airlines Flying To Dubai<\/h2>

If you are departing from the US, there are a lot of options if you want to fly direct to Dubai. The airlines that offer service include the flag carriers Emirates<\/strong> and Etihad<\/strong> but also United Airlines<\/strong> recently started offering nonstop service. There are several other airlines offering service with 1 stop but in this case we think its best to fly direct.<\/p>

The airlines is one of the most well connected to US cities with nonstop service from New York, Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Houston,, Miami, and San Francisco. This gives you plenty of options and if you are connecting your ticket may even be cheaper than flying direct.<\/p>

Airfare to Dubai<\/h2>

Ticket prices to Dubai can vary depending on season but given the amount of airlines offering service you can expect $650 – $900 roundtrip in economy. During peak season of summer this can go up pretty significantly to around $900 – $1,800. We like using Skyscanner to find the best deal<\/a> and their compare page makes it easy.<\/p>

Here is a breakdown of average round trip prices by month. Note we pulled the data towards the end of February, which is why that appears so high.<\/p>
