  • Use the low-price calendar on this page: shifting your departure date to the middle of the week can often save you AED 75 or more compared to weekend travel.
  • Compare offers from China Eastern and Batik Air — sometimes options with included baggage from full-service carriers turn out to be more cost-effective than low-cost carriers with extra fees.
