UAE: Last-minute summer trip? Cheap deals starting from Dh253 to fly to these cities

For those planning last-minute summer trips, this is a good opportunity to secure flights to popular nearby cities without spending too much. With summer holidays underway and temperatures rising across the UAE, residents who are looking to travel to nearby destinations for a quick getaway can take advantage of cheaper airfares. There is still time to find reasonably priced flights to popular cities such as Kuwait, Colombo, Muscat, and Mumbai this August, according to flight comparison website Skyscanner. These cities have become favourites among UAE residents because they are closeby and offer short flight times, ranging from just one hour to about four and a half hours. Besides being convenient, the local currencies in these destinations provide better value for the UAE currency, helping travellers stretch their budgets further. Ayoub El Mamoun, travel expert at Skyscanner, said: 'The summer season is always busy as people try to make the most of their holidays. Our data shows that travellers still have a good chance to get affordable flights to Colombo, Mumbai, Kuwait City, and Muscat during August.' The report reveals that nearly half of travellers (48 per cent) prefer destinations where their money goes further, and a large majority (85 per cent) are open to changing their travel dates by a few days or weeks if it means saving money on flights. Best cities Skyscanner's data reveals the best times to book for the lowest prices. Muscat offers the cheapest flights at an average of Dh398 if booked 26 days before departure. Booking between 21 and 24 days in advance sees prices between Dh403 and Dh437. Colombo flights are best booked about 11 days before travel, with average prices around Dh1,209. Booking 17 to 19 days ahead is still affordable, with fares between Dh1,295 and Dh1,385. Mumbai flights cost roughly Dh825 when booked eight or nine days before departure. Kuwait has the most affordable fares at Dh253 when booked 25 days in advance. Booking 13 days ahead costs around Dh436. Prices can change depending on demand and how many seats are left on the flights. So travellers should try to book at the right time to get the best deals.

DUBAI - Dubai International (DXB) welcomed 46 million guests in the first six months of 2025, marking its busiest first half on record. The 2.3 percent year-on-year growth underscores DXB's resilience, the continued strength of Dubai's aviation sector and the airport's ability to maintain high performance despite temporary regional airspace disruptions in May and June. This achievement reinforces DXB's vital role in connecting Dubai to the world and supporting the city's broader economic progress. In the second quarter alone, DXB served 22.5 million guests, an increase of 3.1 percent over the same period last year. April emerged as the busiest month of the quarter and the most active April on record, with 8 million guests passing through the terminals. Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, said, 'DXB's continued growth through a period of regional challenges highlights the strength of Dubai and the UAE, the agility of our operations, and the commitment of our airport community. The oneDXB mindset once again enabled us to manage disruption while elevating the guest experience and ensuring seamless global connectivity." He added that as the second half of the year begins, travel activity is projected to gain momentum, starting with a surge during the late-summer peak and continuing into a winter season marked by major global events in entertainment, sports, and business A standout moment will be the Dubai Airshow 2025, which is set to surpass previous records and showcase the bold vision shaping the future of aviation and aerospace. "Based on our performance to date and a positive outlook, we expect the annual traffic to reach 96 million this year, bringing us closer to the symbolic 100 million milestone,' Griffiths noted. Average monthly traffic in H1 stood at approximately 7.7 million, with daily volumes averaging 254,000. January was the busiest month of the period and also set a new monthly record, with 8.5 million guests. DXB handled 222,000 total flights during the first half of the year, while the load factor reached 76 percent. A total of 41.8 million bags were processed, with 91 percent delivered within 45 minutes on arrival. The mishandled baggage rate remained low at just 2 bags per 1,000 guests, significantly outperforming the 2024 industry average of 6.3 reported by SITA, the IT provider for the air transport industry. The airport is on track to process over 85 million bags by year-end, surpassing its previous record of 81.2 million set in 2024. The busiest baggage days were between January 3-5, with daily volumes reaching 300,000 bags. Efficiency at key guest touchpoints also remained consistently high.

The airport remains a key contributor to global trade and logistics. Currently, DXB is connected to more than 269 destinations in over 107 countries, served by a network of over 92 international carriers. This breadth of connectivity continues to underpin Dubai's appeal as a hub for tourism, commerce, investment, and long-term growth. With the second half underway, Dubai is preparing for a surge in global travel and events, with DXB playing a central role. From the late-summer travel rush related to the reopening of schools, to a packed winter calendar, activity is set to intensify. The upcoming Dubai Airshow 2025 is expected to be a landmark event, reflecting not only the scale of aviation in the region but also the vision shaping its future.
