- Dubai – 4 hours 50 minutes;
- Abu Dhabi – 8 hours 25 minutes;

Depending on the number of transfers, the time can vary up to a day or more.
According to laws that came into force on January 1, 2018, Ukrainian citizens with biometric passports do not require a prior visa. The stamp is affixed at the airport upon arrival, and visiting the country is free for 30 days. For an additional fee at the visa center, you can extend the period once by 30 days.
Also, the passport must be valid for six months from the date of entry. You are also required to take out insurance in advance or upon arrival.
Before departure, you should carefully read the rules of your carrier. Usually they differ uncritically between different companies, but in order not to get into trouble at the airport and not pay extra money, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
- Rules for the carriage of baggage and hand luggage (their size, quantity and weight).
- Rules for transporting liquids per person.
- Placement of gadgets. Often, a bag with a laptop is a separate carry-on luggage, and all equipment must be inside.

What to do if a flight from Ukraine to the UAE is delayed?
Under no circumstances should you panic. Remember that you are entering into a contract with the agent and the carrier, as evidenced by the ticket. Therefore, you will be taken to your destination in any case.
If your flight is delayed or cancelled, the first thing you should do is call your travel agent, who will tell you what to do next. As a rule, the employee asks to take a photo of the sign indicating the delay message. In addition, it is recommended to find a representative of the air carrier (do not confuse it with an airport employee) and take a supporting document from him.
International laws also provide passengers with the following means depending on the time of flight delay:
- free drinks and sandwiches – 2 hours;
- hot breakfast, lunch or dinner – 4 hours;
- a hotel room and transfer to it with a wait of 6 (at night) and 8 (day) hours, in case of a regular flight and 12 hours for a charter flight.
Passengers on regular flights are in a more advantageous position because they are guaranteed the following rights:
- You can refuse to use the airline's services and then they will be reimbursed for the unused portion of the ticket.
- You can fly on another flight without any additional payments if you receive such an offer.
- For every hour of waiting, clients receive compensation. However, the total amount of payments cannot exceed half the cost of the ticket.
If, in the event of a delay, passengers were not provided with drinks, snacks and a hotel, it is recommended to draw up a protocol in free form addressed to the carrier. It is worth enlisting the support of neighbors from the same flight so that the complaint has greater force. In addition, if you were forced to purchase any goods from the listed list, be sure to attach copies of receipts to the protocol. Then you will also be required to reimburse their cost.
It is worth noting that if a charter flight is delayed, the fault usually lies with the tour operator. He, in turn, most often issues compensation in the form of discounts on various services. However, there is a chance of obtaining monetary compensation.
