China Southern Airlines has a direct flight taking off from Shenzhen Airport at 4:50PM and landing at Dubai Airport at 10:05PM — a total flight time of 9 hours and 15 minutes. Pick the seat that’s perfect for you, bring something to keep you busy and the time will zip by.
Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SZX to DXB last minute?
Booking your trip from Shenzhen Intl. Airport to Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB) at the last minute could save you money if you get lucky and find a terrific deal. However, airfares usually don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you wait, flights could also be booked out or the best seats gone (because no one wants the middle seat). If you want to be on the safe side, book well ahead of your departure date. Remember that some of the most awesome deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.

Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB), Dubai and Sharjah Intl. Airport (SHJ) are your choices when taking off from Shenzhen to Dubai. Roughly 4 mi east of downtown Dubai, Dubai Intl.
