Everything you need to know about booking flights to Abu Dhabi from the UK
The main airport is Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), located approximately 30 kilometres from Abu Dhabi city centre. It serves as the home hub for Etihad Airways and is well-connected to the city by taxi and public transport.
Direct flights from London to Abu Dhabi take approximately 7 hours on Etihad Airways or British Airways. One-stop routes via Doha, Istanbul, or other hubs will vary in total journey time depending on the layover duration.
British passport holders can obtain a free visa on arrival in the UAE, which covers Abu Dhabi. Always check the latest UAE entry requirements before travel and ensure your passport has at least six months validity beyond your planned departure date.
