About this route
Many of our Manchester travellers use Dubai as a stop on the way somewhere else. A connection through Dubai on one ticket is often quicker than going via London.
Non-stop or one stop?
Emirates flies non-stop from Manchester, usually more than once a day, so you can choose a departure time that suits you without travelling to London.
From Manchester, Dubai is also one of the easiest places to connect for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Asia and Australia, with your bags checked through on one ticket.
When to fly
November to March brings warm, dry weather and is the peak season. June to September is extremely hot. Spring and autumn are a good compromise between weather and price.
Good to know

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.
