Getting The Best Deal on Air Tickets | Cheap Flights

Cheap flights are probably the most searched terms on google and as an answer to this question, I will be writing a series of posts on how to get the cheapest fares while booking your tickets to Dubai. To start off with, while traveling to Dubai, the airfare is always pretty high because the airport tax is also slightly on the higher side. If you have been to Dubai International Airport, you will realize this. The Dubai International Airport is one of the most celebrated airports in the world. If you click on the above mentioned link, you can see that it is lavish and extravagant.



On top of all this, the world's largest airport is under construction in Dubai and will be open in a few years time. So, by then the ticket fares will surely increase. So the best time to avail the lowest fares to Dubai is now. So what should you do?

Firstly, Ensure that there are flights from your city to Dubai. Though there are direct flights from almost any city in the world to Dubai, there are a few exceptions. If there are nor direct flights, you need not worry. You can always connect to Dubai from transit locations.

For example, if you are flying from North America, you can connect to Dubai via various destinations in Europe like Paris, London, Rome to name a few. The national carrier Emirates has been voted the best airline in the world and its service is testament to this recognition. Emirates flies to almost every major city in the world. So rest assured that you can find a flight to Dubai at almost any time on any day.




Moving on, I'll cover different airlines separately and you yourself can decide at the end as to which is the cheapest. Start off with Emirates, I'd say that Emirates probably is not the best airline if you are looking for dirt cheap tickets. If you book in advance, you can definitely get superb fares on Emirates but for last minute deals, there are other options.

Firstly, you should consider Air India Express. Air India Express is a subsidiary of India's national carrier, Air India. Air India is known for its budget fares and they have further lowered the fares with the launch of Air India Express. Air India express, connects to Dubai from various destinations in India. If you are flying from say Singapore, you could fly the Singapore-Chennai-Dubai sector or the Singapore-Trivandrum-Dubai sector, both Chennai and Trivandrum being major airports in India. Also, all routes connecting through India's South West coast are extremely cheap, expecially those connecting from the state of Kerala.




For other travellers from South East Asia, another option is Tiger Airways from SIN to MAA and then availing of Air India Express or Indian Airlines from MAA onwards. MAA (Chennai) is one of the major airports in South India and is a popular transit stop used by many international passengers.
