From Dehradun, IndiGo operates daily flights to Dubai (DXB, ≈ 3h 20m). At Dubai, flydubai runs a short hop to Ras Al Khaimah (RKT, ≈ 25 min) — making the IndiGo + flydubai combination the most direct option, with a minimum 2h layover at DXB. Alternatively, Air Arabia flies from Dehradun to Sharjah (SHJ, ≈ 3h 20m), and RAK is ≈ 25 min by taxi from SHJ airport — many travellers find this door-to-door cheaper than the flydubai hop from Dubai. A third option is routing via Delhi (DEL): IndiGo/SpiceJet fly DED→DEL (≈ 1h 05m), then IndiGo/Air India/Emirates fly DEL→DXB/RKT with multiple daily slots.
Via the IndiGo + flydubai routing (DED→DXB→RKT), total travel time including a 2h DXB layover is approximately 5h 30m. Dubai Airport (DXB) is one of the world's largest; allow 90 min minimum for international-to-domestic transit — flydubai uses Terminal 2 at DXB, which is separate from Emirates' Terminal 3. Clear immigration and customs on first arrival in UAE at DXB; the RKT leg is a domestic UAE transfer so no further immigration stop. Via Delhi–DXB, add the DED→DEL domestic leg + a DEL layover (typically 3h+ for an international connection), making the total ≈ 7–8h door-to-door but with more fare and timing options.
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is a compact facility ≈ 20 km from the city centre and 45 km from Jebel Jais (the UAE's highest peak, with the world's longest zipline). RAK is growing as a UAE destination: Al Hamra Village, Marjan Island resorts, and Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah attract international leisure travellers. Taxis from RKT airport are metered; the city centre fare is ≈ AED 60–100 (≈ ₹1,400–₹2,400). RAK also has road links to Dubai (≈ 1h 15m by car), Abu Dhabi (≈ 2h 30m), and Sharjah (≈ 45 min).
On a DED→DXB IndiGo leg + DXB→RKT flydubai leg booked separately, baggage allowances are independent: IndiGo standard economy gives 20 kg international check-in + 7 kg cabin; flydubai economy gives 23 kg check-in on the DXB–RKT domestic UAE segment. Note that flydubai's Basic fare includes only cabin baggage — upgrade to the value fare for 23 kg check-in. At Dubai T2 (flydubai), ensure you collect your Dehradun-checked bag at DXB arrivals before checking in again for RKT; there is no automatic through-baggage on separately booked tickets. As of June 2026, IndiGo's online pre-purchased extra bag costs ≈ ₹1,200–₹2,000 per extra 5 kg slab on international sectors.
