Looking to fly to Dubai and don't know how? Here are your options

The article reviews the alternatives available to Israelis wishing to fly to Dubai, following the suspension of Flydubai flights until October 15. Among the options: flying to Abu Dhabi with Etihad and continuing by land, flying to another nearby destination and then continuing to Dubai, or a connection in Europe on the way to the Far East.

The article provides a practical overview of alternatives to direct flights to Dubai, after Flydubai suspended its flights to Israel following a terror incident. The company announced a suspension until October 15, but this date is marked as a question mark. Emirates, the parent company, has also not yet resumed flights to Israel, and Israeli airlines cannot land in Dubai due to lack of security approvals. The most convenient alternative offered is a flight to Abu Dhabi with Etihad, which has increased its flight frequency, and from there a land journey of about an hour to an hour and a half to Dubai. Another, more cumbersome option is a flight to another regional destination and then a connecting flight to Dubai with a company authorized to land there. For travelers to the Far East, a connection in Europe is also offered, expanding the destination map of Israeli airlines. The article does not include information on costs, average waiting times, or visa requirements, and focuses on a general description of possible routes.
