Dubai International Airport DXB

I wasn't looking forward to Dubai International Airport - for our transit from LGW to Johannesburg with Emirates. I had heard some real horror storries about the place but the stories must be about the older terminals as terminal 3 is Very Impressive! It can be slightly confusing finding where to go once you get into the new terminal, However there are staff there who will direct you in the right way (basically you keep going up any escalators you see until you find long queues - that's when you know you have reached the right place) Once through security (which can take quite a while - depending on how many flights have just come in at the same time as ...  Read the complete review

Well, im not sure where to start, in the last year i have been in Dubai's terminal 1 emirates airport at least 8 times,arriving and departing and in early January this year the new termianl 3 opened, and all i can say is wow. I was always pretty impressed with terminal 1 but now, wow lol. Everything you want/need is there from restaurants to rolexes. Its bright, clean and so much more spacious than terminal 1, which is saying something. When i landed there this time i came off the plane right into arrivals and as you go down the elivator to get to the baggage consoles its just wow, and all the carasoles are now so easy to find.

Dubai International is one of a couple of airports worldwide that I would consider to be among my favourites. As soon as you get off the aircraft, the airport is spacious and modern, with clear signs indicating directions and beautiful stained glass windows and arabian type deco. The upper level where the gates are is basically 100% glass, so people interested in seeing out onto the busy airfield, who like to do a bit of plane spotting will not be dissapointed. There is plenty of seating, so the tired traveller with a couple of hours to kill should not find locating a seat too difficult, which is more than can be said for some of the other gulf airports ...  Read the complete review

Dubai has to be my favourite airport. It is bright, spacious and well lit. There is ample seating, which is spread out throughout the airport and tend to be close to the departure detail monitors. The decor of the airport is unusual - there are palm trees inside, which is a nice touch! There is a good selection of eateries on the upper floor, including traditional food and a McDonalds. However seating in the food area can be limited at times. The toilets are clean and there are plenty of cubicles. They are also easy to find, which is always a bonus after a long flight! The shopping is fantastic and makes passing the time until your ...  Read the complete review

Dubai - luxurious airport - and you can smoke in it - shopping is fantastic - great savings on named brands - sadly limits on duty free into uk mean you cannot enjoy too much for a lot less. Facilities are superb, people are helpful, its very clean, easy to negotiate round and information easily available for wherever you are going. Any currency is accepted and the exchange rates are normally good. great structure if you are into ...  Read the complete review
