I'm looking to go to Dubai in June but am debating whether to fly with Qatar Airways (via Doha) or Oman Air (via Muscat) has anyone had experiences with either?
Where is your start point, LHR or LDY?
From LHR, you have the choice of BA, VS, BI, BG and of course EK, who will all take you there direct. Alternatively, you can fly to AUH with EY. From LDY, use EY from DUB to AUH.
If your trip is for leisure, I would suggest allocating time to explore AUH anyway - the two cities are sufficiently close to combine without needing to fly between them. But this is about LHR, so I'll leave the AUH promotion to the Abu Dhabi tourist board!
