FAQs - booking Dubai flights

  • How can I hire a vehicle at Dubai International Airport?

    Car hire kiosks can be found in the arrivals halls of Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 (the international terminals) at Dubai Airport. You will generally find an excellent selection of vehicles available for pick-up at the airport.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Dubai

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Dubai flight deals.
  • Dubai International Airport (DXB) has three terminals. Terminal 3 handles Qantas and Emirates flights, as well as some flights from Qatar Airways and Gulf Air. All other international flights generally arrive at Terminal 1, whilst Terminal 2 handles low-cost domestic flights.
  • If you have work to do during your layover at Dubai International Airport, you’ll find everything from meeting rooms and conference facilities to secretarial services and high-speed internet at Dubai International Hotel in Terminal 3.
  • Multiple prayer rooms can be found in both the arrivals and departures areas of T1, T2 and T3 at Dubai International Airport. All you have to do is keep an eye out for the signs.
  • You can find direct flights to Dubai from the following Australian cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Both Emirates Airlines and Qantas Airways fly direct from these airports, but if you are flying from anywhere else or with any other airline you will have at least one stopover in your trip.
  • A large number of bus lines serve Dubai International Airport and can take you to different locations in the city. You can board buses from outside Terminals 1, 2 and 3, however please note that you must purchase a NOL card beforehand as you can’t pay cash on board. The SkyBus goes direct from the airport to some hotel areas, and the bus fare is also paid using the NOL card.
  • If you are traveling with kids, you will find Baby Care Rooms throughout the airport that you can use to change or feed infants in privacy. If you can’t find one easily, head to the Information Zone or ask a ‘May I Help You’ staff member for directions. For slightly older children there is a play area in Terminal 3, located close to Gates B7 and B8.
  • Luggage storage is available in the Arrivals area of Terminals 1 and 3, with the cost depending on the bag’s size. Luggage wrapping is also available in all terminals but does vary from location to location.
  • If you need some peace and quiet after your flight to Dubai, you can use one of the multiple lounges available to all passengers.

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

Although lauded as a superior carrier, I found nothing out of the ordinary about the flight. Even in the AirBus 380, there wasn't much space in economy - especially when the seat in front was reclined. Admittedly, the toilet was more spacious than I've ever seen on an airplane, but the ill-fitting divider between the cubicles left a visible slit that was quite disconcerting. The crew were ok, but they were clearly "just doing their job." There was little enthusiasm - although given the number of the passengers, I'm not surprised they were jaded. I'd fly Emirates again, but I don't hold them above other carriers.

Wifi was not operational for the whole trip. Other than this, flight was well received .

Food no so good. Extra charge to much for front seats cost me £163 then other people sat near me for nothing 🤬

Comfort and customer service from most if the crew was great. The crew reassigning passengers should consider the presence of infants when reassigning seats. Unfortunately a couple of oversized passengers were relocated next to us, making this segment a bit uncomfortable, as there was not only extra leg space required. I ended up swapping seats with my husband so our baby wouldn't be impacted. My husband travelled quite uncomfortable as the reassigned neighbour shoulder and arm ended up on my husband's seat

Seats are not as easy to move as you would hope in premium econo Y

The plane was very old and uncomfortable. Service was very slow!

Flight from Dubai to Zagreb very bad cabin crew. Bad food

Small twin prop plane. Basic flight. Food was half a chicken & pesto sandwich. As the flight departed after 12pm alcohol was available. No on board entertainment. No wifi services.

I liked the refreshments as the flight was short and the free WiFi. The seats were comfortable.

Although the flight was delayed and out of their control, we boarded and were underway in no time. The crew were great, the service A1 and the meal was superb ( I had the chicken dish). I would fly with Qantas again, anytime. Noel Swift

Overall, it was a very good experience. I would have given it a 10/10, especially based on our flight from SFO to Melbourne. The cabin crew on that flight were wonderful and incredibly attentive. They took extra care when setting up our beds so we could sleep comfortably without being disturbed. Dinner was served promptly and smoothly. I woke up quite late, when the flight was already preparing for landing, and the crew still made sure I was taken care of. They brought me English tea in a proper cup, and when it was time to prepare the cabin for landing, they thoughtfully transferred it into a takeaway cup so I could continue enjoying it along with some breakfast. Those small, thoughtful gestures made the long flight feel much more comfortable and special. The service from the SFO to Melbourne crew was truly excellent.

From start to finish, every part of the experience was outstanding. The care and kindness shown to my 95-year-old mother was exceptional—truly 10 out of 10. From the assistance she received at Sydney Airport while boarding the plane to the help she was given when arriving at Wagga Wagga Airport, every staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They made her feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after throughout her journey. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make my mother's trip such a wonderful experience. Your compassion and dedication are greatly appreciated.

My flight with Qantas was excellent, the crew were exceptional, the food was very good, and the seats were surprisingly spacious and comfortable. I was extremely disappointed when my checked bag did not make it onto my connecting flight, but was pleased with the ease of filing a report of a missing bag with Qantas at the Auckland airport - there, my pleasure ended. I can see, with an apple tag on my bag, that it is still in Sydney and has not moved in more than 30 hours. I shared the tracking information with Qantas and was assured when I filed the missing bag report that my bag would be delivered first thing the next morning on the next flight from Sydney to Auckland. Qantas' missing bag tracking feature still lists its status as "searching for your bag, check back later" more than a full 24 hours after filing the report despite my having shared tracking information, a photo of the bag, and calling the customer care line and being assured that an "urgent action message" had been sent to the team in Sydney. The lack of communication from Qantas' customer service department and the lack of action after an incredibly expensive business class ticket price is outrageous and has, definitively, affected my willingness to consider flying Qantas in the future, much less on long-haul international flights with high cost airfare.

Going from Sydney to London on a single flight number was very convenient, not having to worry about changing planes. Entertainment system on A380 economy cabin is very dated. Lavatories are small. The self serve refreshments have been significantly reduced since the A380 first started.

It was ok, but not what it was like 20 years ago

Great. Airhostess was amazing. Dinner a little spicy! Could have had a mention beforehand about that though

The staff seemed a bit disinterested and some requests didn’t get answered. I finally got up and brought water for a passenger who had asked nicely 3 times for water. My headphones didn’t work and it took multiple requests to get them replaced.
