Going overseas for the holidays? Lucky you!
If you’re flying via Dubai and are worried about navigating the huge airport, finding the right terminal and possibly exploring the city to make the most of your long layover, here’s everything you need to know in a nutshell, thanks to Flight Centre:
- Terminal layout
Dubai Airport consists of three terminals:
- Terminal 1 caters to international flights.
- Terminal 2 handles predominantly regional and low-cost carriers.
- Terminal 3 is the largest and most modern of the three and serves as the primary hub for Emirates Airlines and is dedicated to international flights.
- Transportation hubs
If you’ve got some time to kill, why not explore Dubai? The airport is well-connected to Dubai’s city centre and surrounding areas via various transportation options. The most common options include taking a taxi, using the Dubai Metro, or utilising ride-hailing services like Uber or Careem. If you are spending the night, ask your hotel if they offer shuttle services for their guests.
- Shuttle services
Complimentary shuttle services are available for inter-terminal transfers, making it easy for passengers to navigate between terminals without hassle. These shuttles operate at regular intervals and provide a convenient means of connectivity for travellers with connecting flights.
