It’s said that a third of the world is just a four-hour flight from Dubai. Thanks to a travel-hungry local and expat population, along with being one of the world’s busiest transit hubs, Dubai’s flight path list encompasses a huge chunk of the world, with direct flights to six regions across the world. Dubai International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Dubai, primarily served by Emirates, but is also the hub for Emirates’ low-cost carrier Flydubai. In modern comfort with TV screens and lie-flat beds on many business class cabins, travellers can find cheap flights from Dubai when booking with flydubai to 110 destinations in 53 countries. Now, the airline has announced the launch of two exciting new flight paths to Malaysia – Penang and Langkawi – becoming the first UAE carrier to serve both airports with a daily service.
