FAQs about flying to Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates airport overview

Situated 20 miles (32km) from Abu Dhabi’s city center, Abu Dhabi International Airport is the second biggest in the United Arab Emirates, after Dubai International.

It was also the first airport in the Middle East to receive regulatory approval for enhanced low-visibility operators. This classification is expected to minimize delays as a result of fog and sand storms, and has only been given to a select number of airports across the world.

There are currently three terminals at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Terminals 1 and 2 handle most of the traffic, and Terminal 3 is the more luxurious Etihad Terminal. Thanks to a direct highway that feeds into the city, transfers into Abu Dhabi are generally quick and painless, even in the heat and traffic congestion of a busy summer’s day.

Abu Dhabi International Airport is an often chaotic introduction to the modern metropolis of Abu Dhabi and its many attractions, although with the development of Terminal 3, Etihad passengers (at least) are assured a most comfortable experience.

  • What airport do you fly into for flights to Abu Dhabi?

    For a flight to Abu Dhabi, you will be flying into Zayed Intl. Abu Dhabi Zayed Intl (AUH) is just 17.4 mi from the center of the city. On average, Abu Dhabi Zayed Intl has 2 flights from New York per day from 4 airlines.

  • Can I find cheaper flights to Abu Dhabi if I am willing to have layovers?

    Yes, flights with layovers are often cheaper than direct flights. Keep an eye out for flight deals to Abu Dhabi on Cheapflights that require 1 or 2 stops for potential cost savings.

  • What is the best airline to fly to Abu Dhabi?

    Based on reviews from Cheapflights users, Turkish Airlines is rated the highest out of the airlines that fly to Abu Dhabi.
