People living in the UAE and planning to fly to India in July should be ready to pay more for tickets. Prices are rising because many families travel during school holidays. But compared to last year, the increase in ticket rates is not as high.

July is one of the busiest months for travel between the UAE and India. Many Indian families take this time to visit relatives or go home for vacation. Because of the rush, ticket prices usually go up every year.

This year, fares are going up again, but not as much as they did in July 2024. Back then, one-way economy tickets were often priced between Dh1,500 and Dh2,000. Now, tickets are mostly between Dh900 and Dh1,300, depending on the city and date.

Travel agents say that more flights have been added this year, which is helping to control prices. Some airlines, especially budget carriers, have started new routes from UAE cities to places in India. This gives passengers more options and helps avoid big price jumps.

Routes like Dubai to Kochi, Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad are still very busy. In early July, tickets cost around Dh1,000 to Dh1,200. The most expensive time to travel will likely be from July 10 to July 20, when most families prefer to fly.
