Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
Arriving at Dubai International Airport (DXB)
- Emirates flies only from Terminal 3; most other international airlines use Terminal 1. Check-in for Emirates flights is in Terminal 3 even when the flight is a codeshare.
- The Dubai Metro Red Line stops at Terminals 1 and 3; metered taxis are plentiful.
- Australian passport holders get a free visa on arrival in the UAE. Check the official UAE site for the current length of stay before you travel.
