When it gets busy
Indian holidays such as Diwali, the UAE school breaks and the end of Ramadan are busy. When your trip falls in a busy period, it helps to start watching fares a few months ahead and to stay flexible by a day or two either side.
Tips for flying Dubai to Mumbai
- On short routes, low-cost fares often include only a cabin bag, so add checked luggage before comparing.
- Dubai also has a second airport, Al Maktoum (DWC); check which airport your flight uses.
- Arrive at the airport early during festival periods, as queues can be long.
Getting to and from the airports
Dubai: The Dubai Metro Red Line stops at Terminals 1 and 3 of DXB; DWC is further south and mostly reached by road.
Mumbai: Mumbai traffic can be slow, so allow plenty of time by taxi; Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are separate, so check yours.
Always confirm transport times on the official airport or transit website, especially for late-night arrivals.
Reading the search results like a pro
Sort by price, then by duration, and compare the two lists. The quickest option is not always the most expensive, and the lowest headline price can hide a very long layover or an early-morning airport change. Use the filters for stops, departure times and airlines, and open the fare details to see what is included. If you travel with family, price the whole group, as the last few seats at one price may not cover everyone.
Setting a price alert lets you relax and decide when a fare suits you, instead of checking every day.
Before you book: documents and rules
Check that your passport is valid for the whole trip (many countries ask for six months beyond your return date), and look up visa or electronic travel authorisation rules on the official government website of every country you will enter, including any you only connect through. Baggage allowances differ by airline and fare type, so read our baggage rules guide and pack using our travel checklist.
