Problems encountered at the airport
1. The first problem arose when checking in luggage, they did not want to accept luggage for a long time.All because of the gift set of cosmetics, which they did not want to accept for hand luggage, although it did not violate the norm allowed in hand luggage (the norm is 1000ml).
2.An empty airport
This could be a plus, but the airport does not function everywhere, there are not enough employees or other workers somewhere.
There are no price tags in duty free shops.You have to guess the prices .Because employees cannot clearly answer what the price is .They just run around and find out , and that 's not for sure .For example, when buying alcohol, they did not answer the question whether there is a special promotion for it, because there are no price tags.They didn't tell us anything, but there is already a surprise 20% discount at the checkout when buying 2 bottles .
3.Tach free
This is the biggest problem.They refused to give money in cash , despite the presence of a receipt and even goods .Just because we asked to give it in cash, but the employee demanded a visa or mastercard card. The only question is what should the citizens of Russia do under sanctions in such a situation? At the same time, she selectively chose who could cash who could not.Although we were not the only ones who were refused money.They also refused to give other people money for the hermes bag, because they did not have it in their hands, but they had a visa card.But where will she get it if you get free taxes after handing over your suitcases and other things.And there are no warnings that they will require to receive free taxes.
The result is three disadvantages, and a lot of nerves have been spent.From luggage to tax free .
Ps. we got tax free thanks to friends who had foreign cards.
And so the airport is beautiful and cozy.

A very large airport. In order to navigate a trip to the city by bus or metro, be sure to use the maps where the flight numbers of the transport are registered. If possible, purchase a SIM card for the Internet. In such a big city, do not stay without the Internet, as it will be easier for you to navigate and you will save a lot of money.

On the first trip, everything was very wonderful. On the second trip, unfortunately, it was the other way around. Tea from a disposable tea bag in a paper cup costs 600 rubles.

Convenient, fast, Smart gate, very small Duty Free, convenient access by car/taxi. If you arrive, you are not met and do not take the bus (going to Batuta mall), go right to the end. There is an abundance of Careem taxis with a colored roof with normal rates. Meeting taxis will cost 1.5-2 times more expensive (250 dirhams) The price from Al Maktoum to the extreme point of Palma is about 135-170 dirhams (depending on the workload of demand and the time of traffic jams from 16 to 20 the price is higher). Install the Careem application for movement, you can tie up a card, you can put dawn Cash). You go through registration and inspection no longer than 20-30 minutes, spacious and fast.

Not a big (yet)), cozy airport. There is a duty free. Sweets with dates for 25 dared. Brandy France at 79 derham. But.. it's better not to get by public transport. Take a transfer or a taxi. I was driving from Deira for 250 derham. 29.04.24.

A convenient, quiet airport. There is no comparison with Lubaisky. The main advantage is only a few flights a day, almost all to Russia. Therefore, the airport is empty, everything is fast and clear without delays. Duty free is very small, the choice is small. Otherwise, good service, everything is there.

On the edge of the city. But it takes 30 - 40 minutes by taxi. There are few flights, so so far everything is fast and without queues arrival / check-in / baggage. There are not many shops and cafes, but everything is basic.

Apparently, it was recently opened. And the plus is that it is mainly focused on flights from Russia and friendly ones. There are not a million people and hellish queues at the airport. It is comfortable and most of the staff understands and speaks Russian. And another plus is that from a location where hotels and a city beach are concentrated, you can take a taxi to the airport without traffic jams. You definitely won 't miss your flight.

We arrived / left at night, everything was fast and sparsely populated, so I liked it. The taxi is issued promptly - before registration, you show your passport at the counter on the left after entering the airport, the next stage after passport control. Instead of 5 percent, it actually turns out to be 3.8, keep in mind. Duty free is good, discounts are really profitable.

The airport is spacious and clean, there are few flights and no queues.
Duty free, currency exchange, as well as after passport control there is a store where you can buy a Nol travel card for 25 dirhams, and immediately use it. After leaving the airport, there will be a bus stop that will take you to the expo2020 metro station, then you can go to your location. When passing through passport control, you will also be given a SIM card that will work for free during the day.

An airport where there is no fuss: a large area with comfortable chairs, a cafe, duty-free, 5 flights on the departure board, one of which has been postponed for 12 hours😅
Business lounge (or what is this booth in the departure area with a VIP sign?) it's pretty pointless here, there's no point in it. The common room is also quiet and the chairs are also soft))
A taxi from/to Holiday Inn Dubai al-Maktoum via the Uber app cost 20 dirhams, taxi drivers at the building ask from 30 to 100)) Many hotels (including ours) have a free transfer, do not forget to clarify this point))

In general, everything is fine. Simple and convenient algorithms for passport control. Everything is clean. But for the service and additional services, I would like to have more suggestions. Especially the cafe.

It's a good airport. Only Russians. Passport control is fast!
4 stars for checking baggage on departure. They don't inspect it at the entrance, you go straight to the registration, and then only personal inspection and hand luggage.

Clean, quiet, modest, but without queues and very fast. The bus is right at the exit, which goes to the subway, but you need to buy a travel card in advance before going outside... on the left, in the store right at the checkout (in red tones, a grocery and souvenir shop)

The airport itself is like an airport, you can get by metro, and there by bus from the final expo 2020. Passport recognizers don't work very often, so you'll most likely be queuing up for a person. Dutik is small and expensive. If you are flying with a low-cost airline, then expect to put all your purchases in your hand luggage and so that it fits into the calibrator. Yes, purchases from dutik will not be allowed to be transported just like that - only for 200 dirhams for carrying additional hand luggage (for each unit)

It is located very far from the city center, if there is a choice, it is better to fly via DXB. A taxi to the center of Dubai costs about 250-350 AED, but you can get to the nearest metro Expo 2020. There are few cafes inside, only McDonald's and a couple of coffee shops.

Everything you need is there, a large territory. Of the non-amenities: I did not find where to print a ticket, they do not announce check-in for flights and the airport is not conveniently located, you need to take a taxi or bus to the nearest metro station, the station is 20 km from the airport

A great small airport. No need to walk for a long time, everything is fast. But be careful: Victory forced me to put my carry-on luggage (I bought a special Victory Bag, a purse for their check box size) in a drawer and put my duty-free purchases on top, a bag with bottles)))!!! It was lucky that it got in, otherwise I don't even know what would have happened.

A new one, built for EXPO 2020, but due to the pandemic it was closed, flights are now resuming, there are a lot of check-in counters, there are drinking fountains with water, McD and not only, polite staff (gave seats on the plane with a teenager, although they are not obliged!)
From the airport to the metro by bus 55, everything clean and pleasant.
In Duty Free, I bought a souvenir that was searched all over Dubai🙃

The airport is located far from the city, transport accessibility is questionable - we got from here and here by taxi.
Official taxis near the international arrival stand right in line, driving on the counter.
Upon departure: the common area is empty, there is one coffee shop, luggage packing and check-in counters. There are few places to sit.
The clean area has a more comfortable environment, there are cafes and shops.
There are no teletraps, and boarding and disembarking under the bus.

The airport is clean and relatively new, but it doesn't seem to be in much use. It serves flights from Russia, not Aeroflot, and from the CIS and India. It is always almost empty, there are very few shops and cafes, a couple of duty free, two coffee shops and a poppy. It is located at a distance from Dubai, a taxi from there will cost a lot, and it will take an hour and a half to get to the center by public transport
