May is often the absolute best month for value. The weather is getting hot but is still bearable, yet flight prices have already switched to "Summer Mode" (low).

❓ FAQ

Is it cheaper to fly to Dubai on Monday?

Not usually. Monday is heavy with business travel. Aim for Tuesday or Wednesday midday flights.

Does booking round-trip save money?

For legacy carries (Emirates, British Airways), YES. For budget carriers (FlyDubai, Wizz Air), NO - they price each leg separately.
