Flights from Asia to the United Arab Emirates: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Asia to the United Arab Emirates 
Verified travelerFlew with Emirates-Sep 2026
Although the airport at Bishkek was small, additional time to check in was required since online boarding pass was not available and I had to wait at the counter to check in.
HumeraFlew with Etihad Airways-Oct 2026
Please don’t book Etihad airways. And for any reason you need to please check that the ticket includes checked bags. For the etihad airways and all international airlines/ airways I would recommend to have an easier policy if you had tickets with no checked bags and or for people who may have need (no want but need to) take checked bags. Be easy so God be easy on you too.
Verified travelerFlew with Etihad Airways-Jul 2026
If flying through Abu Dhabi, bring a sweatshirt or jacket. The airport is chilly
Verified travelerFlew with Pakistan International Airlines-Jan 2026
I would try to avoid the first couple of weeks of January to travel due to generally very high fog. If you can just buy return tickets from Islamabad that would be the best.
MohsinFlew with Emirates-Feb 2026
Reach the airport 4 hours before the flight. When I was travelling, the Lahore airport was super jam-packed, and it took me 2 hours to check in
HaroldFlew with Etihad Airways-Dec 2025
Make sure you arrive early because they will start boarding early.
SahibFlew with Wizz Air-Jun 2025
If you book this flight make sure bring enough water or drinks and food because not only they charge for everything but charge extremely high price!
SoosnataFlew with Etihad Airways-Mar 2025
Probably dine at the airport ahead of a red-eye, options can be limited onboard.
MohsinFlew with Pakistan International Airlines-Dec 2024
download movies on your Netflix, put your ear pods , bring your neck pillow and enjoy the flight
Verified travelerFlew with Emirates-Feb 2025
there isn’t enough time between flights to make the transfer in Dubai to the flight home to LAX. I asked at the gate when I arrived in Kochi. I said I was not going to be able to run to me a deadline for boarding. I had an hour and 25 minutes to go to another terminal. I asked the ticket agent at the airport I checked in to get me a wheelchair in Dubai to move me from arrivals to the next international departure. I had a wonderful wheelchair driver. I never could’ve done what he did. I was only able to get on the plane immediately before the door closed
WoeiFlew with Emirates-Feb 2025
If flying flydubai, have light carry on and a jumper or winter coat. There’s stairs and long bus ride in a freezing bus
ShakeelFlew with Etihad Airways-Sep 2024
At Abu Dhabi special checking of US travelers to Old Airport instead of New one and passengers transferred by bus to old airport.
Malik QamarFlew with Etihad Airways-Sep 2024
If is possible take a etihad flight which has a Immigration clearance at Abu Dhabi Airport
Verified travelerFlew with Emirates-Nov 2024
Arrive 4-5 hours ahead instead of recommended 3 hours to be first in the line to check in bags. The checkin and emigration took almost 2 and half hours. The emigration at Hyderabad airport is unnecessary and most staff are slow in processing leaving us no time to relax at the gate
Verified travelerFlew with Emirates-Aug 2024
If you have a transfer in Dubai and plan to leave the airport in Du ai, don't purchase at the Duty Free in Shanghai. Wait until you re-enter the airport in Dubai
KannanFlew with Emirates-Apr 2024
If you have a connecting flight with a short transit time, check in online and get a seat near the front. Else it can take a while just getting off the plane.
RamachandraFlew with Emirates-Jan 2024
Get to airport sooner for check-in and baggage drop.
JeffFlew with Etihad Airways-Feb 2024
Beware hidden charges (as with seating charges) which escalate the overall cost of the flights.

Our outward flight from Stansted was delayed by 90 minutes meaning we missed our connecting flight in Dubai. Emirates put us up in a hotel for the night and on the next flight to Mauritius. All was not lost.

Our outward flight from Stansted was delayed by 90 minutes meaning we missed our connecting flight in Dubai. Emirates put us up in a hotel for the night and on the next flight to Mauritius. All was not lost.

We travel to Dubai to see my son so I take my 9 year old grandson to see his dad . Love flying with emirates

I flew Premium Economy from Sao Paulo to Dubai. Excellent trip, especially the attention to detail of crew.

This was a codeshare with flydubai. Took off on time and landed before time. It was very good

Toilets could be serviced more frequently. They ran out of toilet paper.

The staff were fantastic and the food was tasty. My check in experience was good too.

The on boarding process at the airport was confusing with no order set in place. So passengers were creating their own lines. Taking the bus to the plane as a bit cumbersome. Once in the plane, the flight attendants were tentative and friendly. Seats were comfortable and food was okay.

Old 777 on this route uncomfortable and in need of updating.

Service was great. Food was perfect. My mom needed a wheelchair and I was worried that I will miss the connecting flight. Emirates ground staff and wheelchair staff ensured we get to our gate on time.

Business boarding is too messy, if can be systematic will be better

Much better seats on Airbus 321. Food prices are very reasonable.

My flight BKK–SHJ–TBS was changed, and I was notified only by an email that went into my spam folder. I found out only 1 day before the flight when I checked in online. The new flight had a 15-hour layover in SHJ and arrived in TBS 1 day later than my original plan. I needed to adjust my plan urgently and lost the cost of one hotel night because the free cancellation period was over.

I needed to adjust the plan urgently and lost the cost of one hotel night because the free cancellation period was over.

The flight was slightly delayed because of change of plane but informed beforehand. Flight was very good and comfortable

Superb like always. On time and quite comfortable. Only thing is that the arrival movement was by bus.

We were boarded by bus. That was a bit of pain.

I was mislead in the booking thinking I was purchasing via kayak however underpricer was the ticket vendor and I did not have access to seat selection, wifi or the lounge at the airport with my business class ticket for this reason. I did know know these issues were going to occur when I bought the ticket, I was very displeased

Over all good experience. Cabin crew should have been more attentive and the food quality should improve.

The first segment from Atlanta to Abu Dhabi was fantastic, but we got downgraded to a different aircraft from Abu Dhabi to Delhi. We were supposed to be on a flatbed business class when we booked it but just about one week before travel, we were changed to A321 Neo, which just has old-fashioned business class seats that recline but don’t go flat. While I fully understand that sometimes these changes have to be made for operational reasons, but I asked for some credit or compensation for that and I did not get any anywhere with that

Luggage jandling sucks. I arrived in BLR india on 15th and luggage was delivered today 19th. I came for a business trip everything got screwed up. Poor communication. APP kept saying mishandles in BLR. It never reached BLR. I had air tag which showed luggage was in Germany. I could not reach anybody other than the airpprt people. They had no clue and asked me to call etihad. In India etihad number wasnt working.i had to call US number and that person was the only person who seemed to help. They kept me in dark. No communication or email till i spoke to the person in US.i have flown many airlines but never had this experience. For me this was first and will be last in etihad. Very bad.

The food was nice and the toilets were kept clean. I find the cabin bag policy to be ludicrous though, there's no way someone can have a small personal item and carry-on cabin bag weighing <7kg if you need to take a laptop with you, meds, and any valuables and items you can't risk to leave in a cargo bag that may get left behind

Crew from ground is great but the aircraft is small and last 3 rows luggage section was occupied by crew so no space for travelers. Food was OK

Awful , hidden charges for the luggage was a very awful thing, very much a scam , booking the flight thinking the luggage was included was definitely a scam , then the girl that was taking my luggage Ayrlease the airport was an absolute awful , telling me if I don’t have money to take my luggage with me I can just throw it away , how professional, NEVER AGAIN .

Connection booked by Etihad was delayed and upon arrival to counter they closed it and denied boarding although there was still 15 minutes to go . Manager Karen was very rude and did not want to listen seems there as overbooking and canceling boarding was the only solution..

The staff was excellent. They checked on my needs at the appropriate amount, letting me sleep when I needed, checking up when I was awake.

Doubled charged me for luggage and lost $520, dug much into my travel budget.

At the boarding gate there were repeated announcements about the plane being full and there not being enough overhead storage and how we were only allowed one cabin bag and anything else would be charged. Piranha staff made me pay for an extra bag...when I got on the plane, there were empty seats galore, not full at all. I will avoid these people in future.

Super delayed. Delayed to get the bus, delayed to get off the bus, delayed to take off.

Kind of worried due to typhoon but yeah we can't do about nature thing. So okay naman kudos to all crews and pilots for the safe landing.

Delays on the tarmac, uncomfortable even after paying extra for premium seats. Bags lost in transit, no compensation provided

"usual delay" for an hour.. they are usually missing punctuality.

i liked that the flight crew noticed my discomfort with the small leg space (I'm 6'2") and offered the emergency row. The fight attendants were very friendly, a definite strength with Cebu Pacific. I didn't like the leg space in my original seating.

Terrible, I will never ever ever attempt to fly on Cebu Pacific. I understand that it’s a cheap flight option but they take cheap experience to the next level.

the process of paying for the excess baggage weight, the check in process and the boarding process are subhuman. this is an airline devoid of customer service

I was rebook by the other airpott because of the delayed flight

Poor service in Bangkok. Flight attendant is not friendly. You have to buy everything like water and coffee. Expecting for International should have free food or free snacks.

They didnt chack the vise for Vietnam (they chaked but sad its was great and then when web had problem, NO Service they didnt unser my messes

Kayak offered terrible customer service. The 2nd of 3 flights were cancelled and it took me an hour on the phone to try to cancel the other 2. I had to call back later to get someone to assist. I was calling internationally and an already stressful situation was made worse.

Moderate carrier , one of the flight attendant crashed my leg with the food table and never bothered to apologia but give you a lecture about how to sit in your seat.

No TVs are working, in my local busses also not work sometimes. Is the both are same,,

If I have a choice I would not use this airline. They moved by booking to Smart Wings, an airline they code share with. Changing terminals in buses and dealing with some of the staff associated with it is not the best experience. Having stated that I must share that the crew of Smart Wings airlines was polite.

Consider serving food to all passengers regardless of food reservation status during booking.

This was a smartwings operated flight. Flydubai is no longer value for money. Their prices are as high as emirates whereas delays, services and overall quality is as low as any other low cost carrier.

The only highlight on this flight was the taste of the food, which was surprisingly good. Everything else was below average, and the cabin crew service especially stood out for being slow and inattentive. We were surrounded by toddlers/babies and it made our 4 hour flight feel like 10 hours. Granted, that's not the airline's fault, but it added to the overall subpar experience.

Second-row economy doesn't have leg space if you are 6 feet
