Non-stop or one stop?

Through Dubai, a single Emirates ticket from Birmingham reaches much of India, Pakistan, the Far East and Australia with one change.
When to fly
November to March is the most comfortable time for a holiday in Dubai. June to September is very hot, though it can be a good time for a short stopover or a visit to family.
Good to know
- Birmingham Airport has its own railway station, Birmingham International, with direct trains from much of the West Midlands.
- Fewer daily flights than London means the best times sell first. Book early for school holidays.
- If your passport isn't British, check whether you need a UAE visa before you travel. Our UAE visa service can help.
Passports and visas
British citizens can usually get a visit visa on arrival in the UAE. Other passports may need to apply before travelling, and passport validity rules apply, so check GOV.UK for your nationality before you book. Our UAE visa service can apply for you if you need one.
