Birmingham to Dubai Flights

You don't have to put a lot of time and energy into planning your trip to Dubai if you let ebookers find you cheap flights from Birmingham to Dubai. Ebookers searches hundreds of flight combinations, based on your requirements, to find you airline tickets that are within your budget.

Getting to Dubai

Dubai is a city filled with glitz and glamour, with everything, especially the hotels and attractions, over-the-top. With so much going on in the city, it's easy to see why it's such a popular tourist destination. Because of the sheer number of people arriving in and leaving Dubai daily, the city is home to two major airports-Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport. Traveling from Birmingham, you'll arrive at the Dubai International Airport. Because multiple airlines offer flights from Birmingham to Dubai, it's not hard to find the best flight for you. Emirates Airlines offers direct flights twice per day, and Lufthansa, Air France, KLM Dutch Royal Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Swiss International Airlines and Garuda Indonesia all offer indirect flights. Direct flights from Birmingham to Dubai take between seven and eight hours, while indirect flights take between nine and 15 hours, depending on how long the layover when you switch flights. Ebookers efficiently searches all of the available flights for your travel dates so that you can choose the flight that best fits your needs.

Transportation in Dubai

Once your plane lands, you need to have transportation from the airport, so it's important to plan this before you set off on your trip. The Dubai Metro operates two train lines that run to and from the airport. The train times are irregular, and trains don't run late at night. On Friday the trains don't begin operating until early afternoon, and their schedule varies drastically during the holy month of Ramadan. Taxi services are available at the airport 24 hours per day, and there are numerous bus lines available. Between these buses, and the various taxis, trains and ferries, Dubai has an extensive public transportation system, so you might choose not have a car available to you while you're there. However, if you want to travel outside of the city or just want access to your own vehicle, ebookers can also book a rental car for you.

Saving Money on Travel

If you're traveling on a budget, or looking for a bargain, signing up for email alerts from ebookers notifies you in advance of any special promotions on Dubai travel. You can save money on your flights by traveling through the week instead of over the weekend. It's also cheaper to travel to Dubai during the winter months, because summer is the city's peak tourist season. Another great way to save money on travel expenses is to purchase a complete holiday package. Ebookers allows you to do much more than book your flights from Birmingham to Dubai; the website has all the tools you need to reserve a hotel room and a rental car for while you're there. You can purchase exactly what you need for your holiday in one convenient package.
