    • Premier Inn Dubai International Airport
    • Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre
    • Millennium Airport Hotel Dubai
  • Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is a hub for United Airlines. Therefore, when flying out of this airport, consider booking your flight with them as they offer more flight options than any other airline.
  • Dubai International Airport (DXB) is relatively busier than Sharjah International Airport (SHJ). Since SHJ is about 17 miles from Dubai, you can book flights that land at Sharjah Airport to avoid the long queues and intense passenger traffic at DXB.
  • When booking connecting flights, please be sure to confirm whether it is an automatic transfer flight or a self-transfer flight. If possible, go for the automatic transfer flight as it is the more convenient option. A self-transfer flight will require you to check yourself and your bags for every flight.
  • If you plan to leave your car at the IAH airport parking, opt for the long-term off-site parking lots instead of the garages inside the airport. They usually charge lower prices, and you get a free airport shuttle.
  • If you’re looking for specific infight services such as Wi-Fi or entertainment, confirm that they are offered on the flight before booking. Different flights will often offer different services even when serviced by the same airline.
