Route on the map
When to fly
Travelers usually find better availability during the shoulder weeks surrounding the peak summer season, before the December holiday rush begins. You should aim for late spring or early autumn to avoid crowded terminals and higher seat availability. May stands out as the cheapest month on this route, offering more flexible scheduling and better fare stability before the northern winter months arrive.
Airlines and what to expect
The route relies entirely on connecting itineraries operated by a mix of international carriers and budget operators, with no direct scheduled service available. You can book through Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Malaysia Airlines, Air India, KLM Cityhopper, Aer Lingus, Eurowings, or Accesrail. Each operator handles different transfer hubs and cabin configurations, so you must compare what is included in each fare before finalizing your booking.
