When to fly

October through December tends to carry higher demand around holidays and year-end travel. January and February see moderate pricing as winter passes without major festival peaks. March stands out for lower rates when school terms keep many travellers away. April returns toward normal levels before summer begins drawing crowds elsewhere.

Full-service carriers dominate this route, including Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa and Kuwait Airways alongside Oman Air. Budget options appear through Akasa Air, Indigo and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi with simpler fare structures.
