MAKE THE JOURNEY COUNT
Airlines, flight times and connections
Times below are published examples, not calculated route averages. Connecting journey times include the stop. Services and schedules can change; confirm your exact dates with the airline.

Direct or connecting?
The research includes a nonstop option. Compare its arrival time and total cost against connecting itineraries before choosing.
COMPARE THE WHOLE COST
Flight prices to Dubai
For Dubai, compare the whole holiday cost: an inexpensive flight paired with an extra hotel night may not be the better choice. Check baggage and seat costs on exactly the fare you intend to buy.
We do not yet have a comparable fare sample for a reliable average. Request a quote for your dates, cabin and baggage needs; a single advertised low fare would not tell you the average cost.

THE RIGHT ARRIVAL
Choose your airports
Manchester airports
Use MAN when comparing Manchester flights. Check the terminal on your current booking and allow time between your train arrival and airline check-in rather than relying on an old terminal assignment.
Dubai airports
Dubai International and Al Maktoum International are separate airports. Check the code on each flight and compare the transfer to your particular district rather than relying on a city-wide distance.
Dubai International
Check your terminal and hotel district before choosing metro or road transport.
Airport transport information ↗Al Maktoum International
A separate airport farther towards Dubai South; do not plan a DXB transfer for a DWC ticket.
Airport transport information ↗Choose a cabin that fits the journey
For this long journey, compare the seat and cabin on every segment, not just the longest flight. Ask the airline to confirm the operating aircraft and whether the quote mixes cabins; Premium Economy and First are not available on every service.
Before you choose
- Compare Manchester departures with the cost and time of reaching another UK airport. A lower London fare is not automatically a saving once rail, luggage and a possible hotel night are included.
- For Dubai, compare the whole holiday cost: an inexpensive flight paired with an extra hotel night may not be the better choice. Check baggage and seat costs on exactly the fare you intend to buy.
When should you visit Dubai?
Heat builds through spring, so outdoor activities work better earlier in the window.
