Travelling from the UAE to India: flights and tips

The UAE–India corridor is one of the busiest in the world, with flights to many Indian cities. Here is how to find good fares and plan the trip.

Pick the right city and airport

India has many airports served from the UAE — Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and more. Flying into the airport closest to your final destination can save time and money over connecting onward.

Compare fares to a few nearby airports on HudHudTrip; sometimes a slightly different arrival city is noticeably cheaper.

Plan around peak demand

Fares rise sharply around major festivals and school holidays when the expat community travels home. Book earlier for those periods, and travel mid-week where you can.
