How to find cheap flights from Vancouver to Dubai

Dubai attracts travellers for a compelling blend of historical roots, innovative architecture, and surrounding desert landscapes. This city is a dynamic destination, offering insights into Emirati culture alongside global influences. Travellers come to explore its various facets, from traditional markets to modern entertainment, finding experiences that range from desert safaris to cultural excursions.

For those planning a trip from Vancouver to Dubai, direct flights are not typically available, meaning most itineraries will include at least one stop. The average flight duration, including layovers, is usually around 17 to 20 hours. When considering the best time to fly, the cooler months from November to March are often preferred, as the temperatures are more moderate and comfortable for outdoor activities. However, travelling during the shoulder seasons—April, May, September, and October—can sometimes offer lower fares and fewer crowds, though temperatures will be warmer. Flexibility with travel dates can help uncover more economical flight options.
