Departure: Dubai International Airport (DXB)

Flights from Dubai to London leave from Dubai International Airport (DXB), serving Dubai - dubai is the Gulf's global city, a 50 km line of towers and marinas along the coast; Dubai International (DXB) sits close to the old Creek districts, about 15 km from Downtown and the Burj Khalifa and 35 km from the Marina, while Al Maktoum (DWC) lies far to the south near Expo City. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The Dubai Metro Red Line runs from DXB Terminals 1 and 3 through Downtown to the Marina and Expo, and it is genuinely useful for a light traveller; with family luggage, or for a villa or hotel off the line, a car door to door is faster and cooler.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Dubai to Dubai International Airport
• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at Dubai International Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

Arrival: London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN) and getting into London

You arrive at London Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted (LHR / LGW / STN). The Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express, the Gatwick Express, the Stansted Express and the Luton train are all fast to a central station; from there the Tube with suitcases means stairs, gaps and crowds, and Wembley, Windsor or an Oxford Street hotel each add a change, which is why families and groups book a car from the terminal door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in London, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Many passengers continue from London to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Dubai to London flight

On board, the Dubai to London flight is about 7 hours 30 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Dubai to London

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

Things to do in London when you land

the British Museum, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the South Bank, Hyde Park and Harrods and the West End theatres are what most travellers come to London for. London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. Eat a Sunday roast in a pub, curry on Brick Lane and Borough Market street food while you are there.

Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in London; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Dubai to London

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Dubai to London are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from London to Dubai

The London to Dubai flight is the same route in reverse, about 7 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours arranges the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Dubai to London?

"How much is the Dubai to London flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for the date you travel shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Let us know for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.

Cheapest flight from Dubai to London: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Dubai to London is typically booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Dubai to London flight first, then the alternatives.
