Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SDU to DXB last minute?
Booking your flight from Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) to Dubai Airport at the last minute could save you cash if you stumble on an amazing deal. However, fares don’t typically get cheaper closer to the departure date. If you choose to wait, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (that could mean the middle seat!). If you’d rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of your departure date. In fact, you can find some of the biggest deals up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Dubai from Rio de Janeiro?
From Rio de Janeiro, you can reach Dubai via Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB), Dubai and Sharjah Intl. Airport (SHJ). Research which terminal is best for you before you make a decision.
