A layover of 1 hour and 15 minutes in Dubai is generally considered sufficient for the transfer. It's advised to proceed directly to the transfer line upon exiting the aircraft to reach the next boarding gate efficiently. While typically manageable, be aware of potential delays. Some travelers have reported significant delays even before takeoff.

A 30-minute layover in Dubai is technically impossible to guarantee. If tickets are purchased separately on different airlines, the passenger is at high risk of missing the connection without assistance. Travelers with single-airline bookings should contact the carrier immediately to verify if a fast-track service or rebooking is provided.

Air Arabia (G9) and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi (3L) have suspended flights to/from UAE until May 31, 2026.

Agents can process these changes directly in the booking system without cancellation fees.
