Cheap flights from Milan to Dubai

Start with the weeks just before and after February, when the calendar usually shows the lowest fares; February is the cheapest month for this route. Outside that window, December and the summer school holidays are the periods when prices tend to rise and seats fill sooner.

Weekday departures can be gentler on the fare than weekend travel, and midday connections may be easier than very early or late ones. Dubai is comfortable in winter, while summer heat makes long outdoor transfers unpleasant, so factor the arrival airport into your plans.

Because there are no nonstop flights, every carrier routes you through at least one intermediate airport, adding connection time and a second boarding. Norwegian International, Pegasus, Wizz Air Malta, Sun Express, Ajet, FLYONE and Flynas usually sell unbundled fares where bags, seats and food cost extra, while Royal Jordanian, Kuwait Airways and Oman Air generally include more in the ticket price.

Check whether your connection is on one ticket or two, since separate tickets leave you responsible for missed onward flights. Low-cost fares can look cheapest until you add the extras you need, so compare the final total rather than the first price shown.

You may land at Dubai International, Al Maktoum International to the south of the city, or find your itinerary ending at Dubai Bus Station, which is a coach terminal rather than an airport. Confirm the arrival point before you book, because the onward journey and the time you need are very different in each case.

From Dubai International you can use the metro, taxis or buses into the centre; from Al Maktoum you are farther out and will usually need a taxi or prearranged transfer. If you arrive by coach at Dubai Bus Station, you are already in the city, but luggage and late-night arrivals need more planning.
