How long is the FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Moscow — and are there fuel stops?

In the opposite direction, on the Moscow–Dubai leg, timing is unpredictable too. In July 2026 passengers flew 7 hours after a three-hour delay and were served two meals on board — a main course and later a sandwich. In late September other travelers wrote that their FlyDubai flight out of Moscow refuelled in Baku and stretched to 9.5 hours; another passenger had to circle for 1 hour 40 minutes waiting for landing clearance because of a queue of aircraft.

Some flights go without a stop. In July 2026 a passenger said that on the return flight to Moscow the plane flew a detour via Penza and the whole flight took about 7 hours. The same month, participants passed on reports that flight time on flights out of Moscow had grown from 6 to 9 hours, with a refuelling stop in Pakistan.

Delays on FlyDubai also came up: in June 2026 a traveler complained that the airline 'always has delays and reschedules', and passengers on a July Moscow–Dubai flight knew about their three-hour delay in advance. Check the current schedule and routing with the airline before departure.

Another passenger flew FlyDubai to Moscow in June 2026: instead of the expected 7.5 hours the flight took 9.5 hours because of a fuel stop in Islamabad. The plane stood on the ground for about an hour and passengers were not allowed off.

In June 2026 a passenger described a FlyDubai flight from Dubai on a Boeing 737: about 4 hours to Islamabad, an hour for refuelling there and roughly 5 more hours to Moscow — just over 9 hours in total. Another passenger also wrote that on a smaller aircraft there was a fuel stop in Islamabad and the trip to Moscow took 9 hours. According to them, a larger aircraft flies without refuelling in about 7 hours.
