Cheap flights from Varanasi to Abu Dhabi
Cheap flights from Varanasi to Abu Dhabi are all connecting, so the journey is measured in stops and hours rather than a single hop. Lal Bahadur Shastri is the departure airport, flights land at Abu Dhabi International, and because no carrier flies this route non-stop, the sensible comparison is between connection times, total travel time and fare rules rather than headline price alone.

Route on the map
When to fly
The weeks on either side of November are the shoulder period for this route, and November itself is the cheapest month among those with prices shown. October, December, January, February and March are the other months in that range, with December and January tightening around Christmas and New Year travel, while the destination's summer sits outside the listed months. Midweek and weekend departures both deserve a look, and if your dates are flexible, shifting by a few days can matter more than chasing a single fare.
Airlines and what to expect
The route is split between full-service and low-cost carriers: Air India and Etihad Airways sit at the full-service end, while Spicejet Ltd., Akasa Air, AirAsia India and Indigo are low-cost names, and Air India Charters is listed separately. Direct flights are not available, so every itinerary connects, and what is included in the fare varies by carrier and fare family. Check baggage, meals, seat selection and changes before you assume the lowest headline price is the least expensive overall.
Arriving — Abu Dhabi
You land at Abu Dhabi International, which sits outside the centre of Abu Dhabi, so the first hour is usually a road transfer rather than a walk. Allow time for the journey into town, confirm your terminal and baggage collection point, and sort onward transport before you leave the airport, because the first hours set the tone for the trip. If you are connecting onward or arriving late, keep documents and essentials in your hand luggage.

Check before you book
- Check whether the whole journey is on one ticket or separate tickets, because a missed connection on separate tickets is usually your cost.
- Confirm connection times, airports and terminals before you pay.
- Check baggage allowances on low-cost legs, since hold bags and cabin limits can differ from full-service fares.
- Check passport, visa and transit rules for India and the United Arab Emirates before travel.
- Compare a few weekdays and weekends in the months with prices, not just the cheapest month.
- Recheck fare rules for changes, refunds and name corrections before booking.
