Cheap flights from Dusseldorf to Dubai

Christmas and New Year travel, together with the school-holiday weeks of summer, are the expensive stretches on this route, so it pays to look outside them. From there fares ease through the autumn months, and January is the lowest-priced month in the calendar; if your dates are flexible, compare it with the months on either side before you book.

The fare you see first is only the base price on this route, and the extras usually appear at the bag, seat and meal steps, so a cheap headline fare can grow once those are added. The carriers listed are Pegasus, Ajet, Royal Jordanian, Sun Express, Turkish Airlines, FLYONE, Middle East Airlines, Aegean Airlines, Qatar Airways and Egyptair, and because there are no direct flights every one of them connects somewhere on the way; compare connection time, arrival airport and what is included before choosing one.

Before you land, check which arrival point your ticket actually uses, because Al Maktoum Int. Airport, the airport listed as Dubai and Dubai Bus Station are not interchangeable. Al Maktoum is the more distant of the airports, the Dubai airport is nearer the centre, and the bus station is in town; taxis, metro links and airport buses are the usual ways onward, but late-night arrivals may leave you with fewer choices.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your ticket departs from Dusseldorf International Airport or Weeze Airport, because the two are not interchangeable.
• If the fare is unbundled, add your bags and seat before deciding it is cheaper than a full-service alternative.
• Check connection time and airport changes on connecting tickets, especially if two separate tickets are involved.
• Make sure your passport and any visa or entry requirements for the United Arab Emirates are valid for the whole stay.
• Compare January with the Christmas and summer school-holiday periods before you fix non-flexible dates.
