Good to know
Flying to Dubai — your questions answered
- How much are flights to Dubai?
- The cheapest round trip we currently hold is $566 from New York (20–23 Jan). These are prices a live search returned, not a standing offer, and they move daily.
- When is the best time to visit Dubai?
- November to March is ideal: warm, sunny 24–28°C days, low humidity and cool evenings, perfect for beaches, the desert and sightseeing. Summer (June–September) is brutally hot at 40°C+ but the cheapest time to visit, best spent in air-conditioned malls, indoor parks and hotel pools.
- Which airport does Dubai use?
- Dubai International (DXB) is the main airport and the world's busiest for international passengers, just 5 km from the centre and served directly by the Metro Red Line (about $2.50 to Downtown) as well as taxis and ride-hailing. A few budget airlines use the far-flung Al Maktoum (DWC) in the south.
- Is Dubai expensive to visit?
- It can be, but it doesn't have to be. Use the cheap Metro and abra, eat at the superb, inexpensive curry houses and shawarma stands of Bur Dubai and Deira, and enjoy the free beaches, souks and Fountain shows, and Dubai is very affordable. Luxury hotels, beach clubs, brunches and alcohol are where costs climb fast.
- Do I need to book Dubai's attractions in advance?
- Yes for the big timed-entry sights — the Burj Khalifa and especially the Museum of the Future sell out days or weeks ahead, so book online as soon as your dates are set. Many of Dubai's best experiences, including the souks, the public beaches and the nightly Dubai Fountain show, are completely free.
