How much does a flight ticket from Poland to Dubai cost?

Flight prices to the UAE, including the Warsaw-Dubai route, can vary significantly depending on several factors: the season, the airline, the time of booking, and the type of flight - direct or with a transfer. In 2025, airfares to Dubai start at around $110 one way, but for a round-trip flight, you'll usually pay from $270 and up, depending on the carrier and travel class.

For example, the price of a flight to Dubai may be lower if you choose airlines such as Wizz Air or Air Arabia. Direct flights from Warsaw Chopin Airport to Dubai (DXB) are offered by Emirates, Lot and Flydubai, but their prices are usually higher, starting at $545 for a round trip. Airlines such as Lufthansa, KLM, and Turkish Airlines offer flights with one stopover, e.g., in Istanbul, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam, at prices starting from $270 for a round trip. However, such connections extend the total travel time, which can range from 9 to even 24 hours, depending on the route and the waiting time for the transfer.

When is the best time to buy a flight to Dubai?

To find the cheapest month to fly to Dubai, it is worth following the rule of booking in advance and avoiding the high season. Data from platforms such as momondo shows that it is best to travel between August and October, when flight prices are up to 36% lower than during the peak season, i.e. December and January. When booking a flight from Warsaw to Dubai 84 days in advance, you can find tickets for around $606 for a round trip.
When is the cheapest time to buy a flight to Dubai? Experts advise buying tickets 3-4 months in advance, preferably in the middle of the week, e.g. on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, when airlines often offer promotions. It is also worth keeping an eye out for deals such as LOT Polish Airlines' “Crazy Wednesday,” where you can find cheap flights to Dubai for around $545 round trip. Setting price alerts on platforms such as KAYAK or momondo is a great way to stay up to date with promotions and find the lowest-priced flights.

Seasonality is key. Winter (November–April) is the peak tourist season in Dubai, which translates into higher flight prices to the UAE – up to 30% more in December. In summer, despite high temperatures (up to 40°C), you can find cheaper tickets, and hotels offer attractive discounts.

• Plan ahead: booking 3-4 months before departure can save you up to 30% on the ticket price.
• Choose less popular dates: midweek flights (Tuesday, Wednesday) are usually cheaper than weekends.

Practical tips for planning your trip

Planning a trip to Dubai requires not only choosing the right flight, but also taking into account a few practical aspects:

• Transport from the airport: You can reach the center of Dubai from Dubai Airport (DXB) by metro, taxi, or bus. The journey from Abu Dhabi Airport takes about an hour.
• Best time to visit: It is best to travel from October to April when temperatures are pleasant. Summers (June–August) are very hot, but flight and hotel prices are lower.

Book accommodation in advance – this guarantees better prices and availability.
