Questions about transfer from Abu dhabi to Dubai
I have two option for going to Dubai from Abu Dhabi, taxi or FlyDubai coach. So I have some questions about that.
- Is there any luggage restriction on FlyDubai coach, I've one checked luggage and a hand luggage ?
- On their website schedule, a Abu Dhabi-DXB T2 trip takes 3 hours, is it normal ?
- How much cost a taxi from Abu Dhabi city to Dubai city. Do they charge any extra for one way or inter-emirate trip ?
Thanks in advance!

Since when is there a flight from AUH to DXB?
Taxi takes around 1.15h from AUH to Dubai "city" even though this doesn't exist.
AUH to Marina/Jumeirah ~1h.
AUH to Deira ~1.30h.
It will cost you around 300-350 AED.
If you are to "greedy" for that you can take the Emirates Express bus which should be a few AED but will take some time.

yes I'm referring to FlyDubai buses, the problem with Emirates Express is luggages, I don't think we can carry a big size trolley in their buses.
Does anyone know how sharing taxi work? you ask for a taxi and wait until other passengers come ?

Actually I speak about FlyDubai buses and not Emirates Airlines buses which is only for EK passengers. FlyDubai buses are for everyone and the luggage allowance is not the same because you don't need to be a FlyDubai passenger.
