Your guide to booking Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport to Dubai flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Wednesday departure and avoid flying on Thursday. On this route, Wednesday flights average $917, about $154 less than Thursday fares (14% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 16 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 15% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Houston George Bush Intcntl Airport to Dubai trip for September. Fares historically average $852 round-trip in that month - typically $452 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Newark Airport (EWR) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $722 round-trip on this route - about $291 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Dubai Intl Airport.

    • Premier Inn Dubai International Airport
    • Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre
    • Dubai International Hotel
  • Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is a hub for United Airlines. Therefore, when flying out of this airport, consider booking your flight with them as they offer more flight options than any other airline.
  • Dubai International Airport (DXB) is relatively busier than Sharjah International Airport (SHJ). Since SHJ is about 17 miles from Dubai, you can book flights that land at Sharjah Airport to avoid the long queues and intense passenger traffic at DXB.
  • When booking connecting flights, please be sure to confirm whether it is an automatic transfer flight or a self-transfer flight. If possible, go for the automatic transfer flight as it is the more convenient option. A self-transfer flight will require you to check yourself and your bags for every flight.
  • If you plan to leave your car at the IAH airport parking, opt for the long-term off-site parking lots instead of the garages inside the airport. They usually charge lower prices, and you get a free airport shuttle.
  • If you’re looking for specific infight services such as Wi-Fi or entertainment, confirm that they are offered on the flight before booking. Different flights will often offer different services even when serviced by the same airline.
