Which airlines fly Bengaluru to Dubai non-stop?
Emirates runs several daily flights from Terminal 2, which handles all international departures at Kempegowda International. IndiGo and Air India Express add low-cost non-stops. Emirates lands at Dubai's Terminal 3 and the Indian airlines at Terminal 1.
Best flight timings
Bengaluru's airport is 35–40 km from the city centre, so an early-morning flight can mean leaving home at 2 am. Daytime departures land in Dubai by the afternoon (Dubai is 1 hour 30 minutes behind India) and are easier on children. Late-night flights land in the small hours.
Baggage: full-service vs low-cost
Emirates includes meals and 20–35 kg checked depending on the fare brand. IndiGo and Air India Express sell meals and seats separately, and their cheapest fares may be cabin-only or carry a reduced checked allowance. Cabin bags are limited to 7 kg.
Getting from Dubai airport to the city
The Metro Red Line from Terminals 1 and 3 reaches Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall in about 30 minutes for AED 5–8 (₹120–190). A taxi to Downtown costs about AED 60–80 (₹1,450–1,900); to Dubai Marina, AED 90–120 (₹2,150–2,900).
When to book and connecting options
Book 3–6 weeks ahead. Late August, when UAE schools reopen, plus Diwali, Christmas and Eid are expensive; July and February–March are usually cheapest. Emirates also makes a good one-stop to Europe or the US via Dubai, often saving you a domestic flight to Delhi or Mumbai first.
Tips for families and seniors
Leave extra time for the drive to the airport, as traffic on the Ballari Road corridor is unpredictable. Request wheelchairs at booking, pre-order Jain or Indian vegetarian meals on Emirates, and pay for seats on low-cost fares if you want to sit together.
