Dubai flight FAQs
Your flight time from the USA to Dubai depends on where you’re flying from and which airport you’re landing in. A journey from New York to Dubai will take around 16 hours which includes a connection at London Heathrow, while Los Angeles to Dubai takes just over 19 hours with a connection.

The best months for travelling to Dubai are between October and March, as milder temperatures offer a respite from the scorching heat of the summer. This is an ideal time to visit outdoor attractions and enjoy the beaches. However, Dubai is a year-round destination and is well prepared to withstand the heat if you want to visit in the summer.
You can make a trip to Dubai fit any budget. Tick off free attractions like Jumeirah Beach, Dubai Fountain and Dubai Marina Walk.

Once you land in Dubai International Airport, the city is just four kilometres away. You can catch a taxi, bus, train or even use the waterway network to reach your destination with ease. All services run 24 hours a day, so there’s no need to worry about landing later in the day.
