About this route
London to Dubai is heavily served by Emirates, with multiple daily departures on A380 aircraft. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also operate the route.
Typical schedule: Depart London 9-10pm, land Dubai 7-8am local time. That's 3-4am UK time. You're asleep when they land.
Dubai Terminal 3 is Emirates-only and enormous. A380 arrivals often use remote stands at Concourse A, adding 15+ minutes to reach the terminal. From landing to exit is typically 30-45 minutes.
BA uses Terminal 1 at Dubai, which is smaller and faster.
Dubai is a major connection point for Australia, Asia, and Africa. If someone's connecting through, track the final destination as well.
Winter is peak season for Dubai tourism. Flights are often full December-February.
