Flights to Europe are the first choice for transit, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates has a transit advantage.

There are two major airports in UAE, UAE International Airport and Abu Dhabi International Airport. To talk about the benefits of connecting flights at Dubai International Airport in the United Arab Emirates, we have to start with his hardware.

Dubai International Airport is the main airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the hub port of Emirates Airlines, which can take off and land all current models. It is one of the important air stopovers in the Middle East, with many planes stopping between Asia, Europe and Africa. Due to the large number of shops in the airport, it has become the main place for shopping duty-free goods in the UAE.

According to the airport official website on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2020, there are 78 airlines operating 245 routes at Dubai International Airport, flying to 238 cities in 103 countries/regions.

Dubai, the hub port of Emirates Airlines, has been the third busiest airport in the world for several years in succession, with more than 88 million passengers in 20 18, second only to Atlanta (104 million) and Beijing (more than 95 million). In 20 19, it was 86.39 million, with a slight decrease.

Dubai has become a global transportation hub, and passengers from North America, Europe, Asia and Australia will transit here even if they don't go to the Middle East. The huge air passenger flow keeps the passenger load factor of Emirates A380 (double-decker passenger plane, which can accommodate 400-700 people) at 77%.

Emirates' service is recognized as world-class. Passengers get more welcome, air service, free Wi-Fi and meal choices when boarding than European and American airlines.

Emirates has the youngest fleet in the world, with an average age of 6.4 years (up to 20 18), far below the global average of over 13. The engine efficiency of new aircraft such as A380 and Boeing 777 is 30-40% higher than that of aircraft before 15. Because the plane uses light materials, the fuel consumption per passenger of A380 is 20% less than that of the nearest competitor.

Compared with the major airlines in the world, the cost of available seats per kilometer in UAE is lower. In addition to fuel economy, there are many long-distance flights in and out of Dubai, which is conducive to reducing costs. The relatively young fleet has lower maintenance costs.

The development and popularity of an airline is closely related to its openness, internationalization and operation level in this country and region. The higher the level of these factors, the more popular the airlines will be.

Small countries, in particular, should be highly open and welcome the whole world, such as UAE and Singapore. Or live a highly closed little life.

Another factor that makes the UAE popular is its geographical location.

With the current civil aviation technology, the longest direct flight range that can usually be opened is about 15000 km. For routes with a distance of more than 16000 km, a stopover is required.

Moreover, passengers will be very tired if they stay in the engine room or carriage for more than 10 hours, so they need to take a rest, and the flight attendants should rotate at this time. Therefore, it is usually cheaper for a one-way transit route of about 8,000 kilometers, because it carries less fuel and employs fewer people. Not easy to get tired.

There are three routes in the world, which have very strong travel demand, but the flight length exceeds 16000 km, so it is impossible to fly directly. First, the routes from East Asian countries to South America, Argentina and Brazil. The second route is from western European countries to Australia and New Zealand. The third route is from Australia and New Zealand to the eastern United States. Of course, there is also a great demand for connecting flights from China to Europe and the United Arab Emirates.

As mentioned above, Emirates has the only A380 luxury fleet in the world. A380 is a double-deck four-engine passenger airliner, which has a high load capacity and can accommodate 400-700 people, and its target is a big airport-a big airport. The other planes are also large Boeing 777-300ER.

It is said that its internal service facilities are relatively perfect, and you can take a bath directly on the second floor. I have always had a wish to have a double-decker Airbus A380.

The UAE government has vigorously promoted Dubai to become an aviation hub, enabling Emirates to provide relatively cheap air tickets. Moreover, Emirates often offers preferential activities, starting from China with a minimum of 4,000 RMB to Europe, Africa and other cities. The advantage of fare allows passengers to accept connecting flights in Dubai instead of flying directly to their destination. In addition, the diversity of flight choices is also an important factor for passengers to consider. Take Beijing as an example. There are up to 35 flights to Dubai every day. Passengers can choose flights according to their own needs, which can save time and arrange their trips reasonably.

At Dubai International Airport, you can taste delicious ice cream. This kind of ice cream is specially prepared for passengers on the journey. The taste is refreshing, there is no heavy creamy smell, and mango and lemon-flavored juice is enough.

As long as your transit time at Dubai International Airport exceeds 10 hour, Emirates will provide you with free hotel accommodation, free lunch and free visa.

In addition to hotel services, the airport also provides "sleep n fly" sleeping cabins and private rooms for passengers to rest.

Besides, sauna, fitness and SPA are still not dreams here. In the Health Club in Hall B of T3, you can enjoy the gym, hot pool, sauna, shower room and changing room for 100 dirhams.

From 20 1 6165438+10/,People's Republic of China (PRC) citizens can enter the United Arab Emirates with ordinary passports and stay for 30 days free of charge without applying for a visa in advance. According to the relevant regulations of the United Arab Emirates, you can also postpone 1 payment and stay for another 30 days!

If you don't have a place to concentrate and have a long transit time, you can also go out of the airport and see the tourist attractions in the annex. As the famous:

Dubai is a well-known shopping paradise. If you don't want to leave the airport because of your connecting flight, you can also go shopping at the airport duty-free shop.

Dubai airport duty-free shop, with a total area of 36,000 square meters, gathers hundreds of first-line brands and is online 24 hours a day, waiting for you to shop. These brands not only update new products quickly, but also have many irregular offers on the Internet, which is convenient for you to carry out your "missing" to the end!

Besides on-site purchase, you can also book your favorite products online in advance. It is very convenient to pick up the goods on site.

Passengers going to Europe, Africa, Australia, America and Asia can transfer in Dubai, and there is no threshold. Why do you want to separate people who are suitable for connecting in Dubai? Because there are still a group of customers with special needs.

That is, people with a second or third identity. The needs of such customers are mainly reflected in several aspects:

Dubai is a very suitable place. If you hold a third country passport, Dubai is a very good transit country. One reason is its geographical location, where almost all continents' planes can find flights. Another reason is that the United Arab Emirates recognizes dual citizenship, which is very convenient for people with second status to enter and leave the country.

In order to match the corresponding status, it is very simple to apply for two-year and three-year visas in the UAE, as long as the following conditions are met:

The treatment period is about 3 months. Landing in Dubai, physical examination, fingerprints, etc. Stay for about 2 weeks, you can get a sticker and a residence card.
