Cheap Flights from Bologna to Dubai

Dubai is warm almost year-round, but its summer heat makes long walks and outdoor sightseeing hard going, so the cooler months from autumn to spring are when most visitors want to be there. February is the cheapest month on this route, which lands you in mild, comfortable Dubai sunshine. Weekends and school holidays in Italy push fares up, while midweek departures outside those peaks stay calmer on the calendar.

Wizz Air Malta is the low-cost option of the group and connects through its own network, with fares that typically cover little beyond the seat. Pegasus and FLYONE are also budget-leaning, routing via Istanbul and Chisinau respectively. Among the full-service carriers, Turkish Airlines connects in Istanbul, ITA Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines route through Rome and Amsterdam, and Eurowings, Luxair, HOP! and Air Nostrum appear as feeders into larger connecting networks. What is included — checked baggage, meals, changes — differs sharply between these two groups, so weigh the total rather than the base fare.

Flights that arrive late in the day leave you less room to sort out luggage and transport when you land. Dubai is served by Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport, and bus connections can also bring you from Dubai Bus Station into the city. Al Maktoum sits far out from the centre, so a late arrival often means a long transfer into town — worth checking which airport your ticket uses before you commit.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Dubai airport your ticket names, since Al Maktoum and Dubai International are far apart and change what the transfer into town looks like.
• Look at what baggage the low-cost carriers include, as Wizz Air Malta, Pegasus and FLYONE often charge extra for checked luggage.
• Make sure connection times work when the booking stacks separate tickets on Pegasus, FLYONE or HOP!, so a delayed first leg cannot cost you the second.
• Verify the documents you need to enter the United Arab Emirates before you pay, including visa requirements for your nationality.
• Compare months on the price calendar, since February tends to be cheaper than the peak winter holiday weeks.
