Al Maktoum Int. Airport DWC
Cheap flights from Al Maktoum Int. Airport (DWC) are worth a look before you book out of Dubai. The airport's route map runs to Chisinau, Warsaw, Bucharest, Krakow, Istanbul, Budapest, Hannover and London, so it leans towards Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey and a UK link.

Getting to the city
Dubai has more than one arrival point, so check your ticket before you book a transfer: DWC, the city's other airport and Dubai Bus Station are not interchangeable, and a mix-up costs you time. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the straightforward way into the city; agree the fare or check the meter before you set off. Allow a generous buffer at busy hours, when traffic heading into Dubai slows down. If you land late, arrange your ride before you fly rather than sorting it out at the kerb.
