Flights to Dubai

A flight from London Heathrow to Dubai International Airport takes just under seven hours. We fly direct to Dubai around 20 times a week.

We fly to Dubai from London Heathrow Terminal 5.

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. You can also sample delicious street food at local markets or discover the city’s affordable dining options. Use public transportation and explore the city's cultural heritage in the Al Fahidi Historic District and the bustling Gold and Spice Souks.

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.

You can also hire a car with British Airways if you want to see more of what Dubai has to offer. You’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

When you fly in our Club World cabin you can enjoy fully flat beds for total comfort, a delicious menu of food and drinks and priority boarding. Our Club World passengers also have lounge access at the airport, so you can relax in our Galleries club lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 or at the British Airways Lounge in Concourse D at Dubai International Airport.

Dubai is a city of endless wonders. Visit a line-up of architectural marvels, from the Palm Jumeirah to the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab. Don't miss the Dubai Frame, an observatory in Zabeel Park offering panoramic city views, especially at sunrise or sunset.

Then you can experience a taste of the United Arab Emirates’ cultural heritage by taking a trip to Dubai Museum and Jumeirah Mosque.
