Dubai: Travelling at this time of year can mean expensive airfares, especially if plane tickets aren’t booked well in advance, but this doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find cheap flights even in the peak of summer.
Two UAE-based carriers have just unveiled their latest special fares for the summer and holidaymakers could score tickets to Europe for as low as Dh10 via flydubai or to India for a little over Dh400 to Dh800 via Emirates.
And the good news is that some of these affordable trips can be booked during the Eid holidays this month.
UAE residents travelling with Emirates anytime between August 1 to September 30 this year can save some money on trips to India, with tickets to Mumbai now up for grabs for Dh460, Delhi for Dh500, Chennai for Dh570, Hyderabad for Dh700, Kolkata for Dh750 and Thiruvananthapuram for Dh800, among many others.
