Departing from Luxembourg, you can currently book premium economy tickets to Dubai for €683. You’d fly with Lufthansa with a short layover in Frankfurt, or with SWISS via Zurich. There’s availability until April 2023 and 2x 23 kg of luggage is included.
You can enter the UAE if you are fully vaccinated or have a negative PCR test result, no older than 48 hours.
All Lufthansa tickets can be rebooked without having to pay a fee, but you will have to pay a (possibly very high) fair difference.
You can find all available dates in our calendar for trips of up to 21 days. It will then redirect you to Lufthansa‘s booking site.
The long-haul flights are operated by Lufthansa using an Airbus A330 or a Boeing 747. Meanwhile, SWISS uses a Boeing 777.
Search & Book
You can fly between September and April. Simply select your preferred dates in our calendar. For trips of over 3 weeks, you’ll have to use the calendar on Google Flights. The best option is to book on Lufthansa‘s website. You can also use SWISS‘ website – it’s literally exactly the same.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
The long-haul flights are issued in booking class N, while the flights between Luxembourg and Frankfurt/Zurich are issued in booking class Y.
SWISS’ premium economy class is quite new, meaning that many mileage programs haven’t published its earning rate yet. Currently, you’re only sure to get miles for flying in SWISS’ premium economy at United MileagePlus, LATAM Pass, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Miles&More.
To give you an example, this is what you’d get flying via Frankfurt with Lufthansa:
- 8,518 Miles on Aegean Miles+Bonus
- 8,018 Miles on Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- 7,018 Miles on Asiana Club
- 7,018 Miles on Ethiopian ShebaMiles

Information & Tips for United Arab Emirates
The United Arab Emirates is known for modern landmarks like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, and desert landscapes accessible from both cities. The currency is the UAE dirham (AED), and credit cards are widely accepted. Prices can vary—luxury experiences are expensive, but there are also mid-range and budget-friendly options, especially for food and transport. The weather is extremely hot from May to September, while the cooler months from November to March are more comfortable for travel.
The UAE has a modern transport infrastructure, especially in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Dubai’s metro is efficient and covers major areas, while buses and taxis are widely available in most cities. Ride-hailing apps are common and reliable. Between cities, intercity buses are affordable and frequent, and highways are in good condition, making driving an option. However, public transport can be limited outside major urban areas, so getting around without a car may require more planning.
