How to get the best deal on a Dubai — Edinburgh ticket

  • Compare direct flights and connecting options: while Emirates and Qantas handle most of the traffic, connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper than direct ones.
  • Use the price trends chart: flying mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) is often cheaper than traveling on weekends or holidays.
  • Check baggage allowances: on long-haul flights, full-service carriers usually include 20–30 kg of baggage, which is more economical than paying for excess weight on the lowest-fare tickets.
