Dubai Return Tickets Under 500 AED: Possible or Fake?

You've seen the ads on Instagram: "Fly to India for 300 AED!" Are these deals real, or just marketing tricks? We investigated.

The short answer: YES, it is possible.

But (and there is a big 'but')—you usually have to fly from Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, carry zero luggage, and book during specific promo windows.

❌ The "500 AED to London" Scam

Don't Click Those Ads

If you see an ad for "Dubai to London 499 AED" or "Dubai to Manila 300 AED", it is fake. These are usually "Base Fares" without taxes, fuel surcharge, or airport fees. The final price at checkout will jump to 1500+ AED.

💡 How To Find The Real 500 AED Deals

  1. Monitor Wizz Air Abu Dhabi: They are the only airline consistently offering sub-200 AED one-way fares to Europe (Rome, Vienna) and Central Asia.
  2. Join Loyalty Clubs: Air Arabia's "AirRewards" and Flynas sometimes offer exclusive member-only promo codes.
  3. Use NXVoy Alerts: Our app tracks these specific drop prices. A 500 AED fare often lasts only 4-6 hours before selling out.
