Flight to Dubai
Dubai has long been a gateway to the United Arab Emirates, and businessmen
and tourists across the globe would be well advised to know about the many
different air transportation groups that operate there.
All of the major airports in the world have planes that make regular trips to
Dubai, but flyers who plan on visiting this desert oasis will find that taking
one of the established native airlines will often offer them more comfort and
advantages than taking ither routes to get there.
Here are a few of the biggest names (and a few smaller but still useful ones) in
air transportation in Dubai that you will want to contact the next time you
decide to take a trip down to Dubai.
Dubai International Airport - before even considering the airlines to take, we
should look at the international airport where most of the air traffic goes
through. This is a large complex, with a 5-star hotel and lots of duty free
tourist shops that actually offer cheaper prices than most shops outside the
airport. The furnishings of the airport are luxurious and attractive, and
security is quite strict, ensuring passenger safety. Because of it's large land
area, the airport has shuttles and electric walkways to allow people to traverse
the length of the airport with minimum effort.
There are also cafes and health clubs in the place. Dubai International
Airport's ambiance and service offers most travellers a warm welcome that gives
them a taste of what the rest of the country's tourist attractions have to offer.
Emirates - this is the largest operating airline down in Dubai, and makes
regular trips to and from all points of the globe. From consumer reports, the
staff is friendly and helpful, and the aircraft are well maintained, comfortable,
and reliable. There have been few complaints voiced about this airline. While
passage on it tends to be a bit pricey, all who take this airline agree that
it's worth the price. Even it's economy class flights have a lot of luxuries to
offer, with movies offered in-flight that rarely repeat themselves, and plenty
of in-flight food and beverages.
Air Arabia - consumer feedback rates this as one of the most cost efficient
airlines to take for flights within the United Arab Emirates. Aside from
offering one of the cheapest and most competitive rates, this airline manages to
offer good service and reliability. It's flights are mostly within or near the
UAE's coverage, like India, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Bahrian, Kuwait, Sri Lanka,
Saudi Arabia and Iran. For those who want to travel around a lot within the UAE
without putting a dent in their budget, this airline is the way to go.
The Little Known Ones - certain airlines like Kish Air, Turkmenistan Air, and Mahan, to name a few, usually wind up in Terminal 2 in the Dubai International Airport, as opposed to the major airways that usually go to Terminal 1. The biggest advantage of this terminal is the relatively light volume of people that go through it. A vast majority of the civilian traffic navigates through the first terminal, so any airline that goes through the second will allow it's passengers quick and easy access through the airport. For those flyers who don't like wasting time sitting around a terminal waiting for the usual pre- and post-flight shennanigans, take any of the flights that run through terminal 2.
