Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Al Maktoum Intl. Airport (DWC) last minute?
When it comes to booking your flights, being organized pays off. While you could pick up a last-minute deal on a SHA to DWC flight, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to book a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days ahead. For international travel it's three to four months.
What airports do you fly into for Dubai from Shanghai?
Al Maktoum Intl. Airport (DWC), Dubai and Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB) are your choices when flying from Shanghai to Dubai. Roughly 48 kilometers south of the center of Dubai, Al Maktoum Intl. Airport (DWC) is the city's major hub. Take into account factors such as flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before settling on an airport. Dubai World Trade Centre and Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo are a couple of leading attractions to put on your to-do list when you arrive.
