Dubai to India Fixed Departure Flights

Dubai to India fixed departure flights are seats from Dubai to Indian cities that were bought in advance as series or block seats for set dates, and are sold at a fixed price. On JourneyDeal they carry the Special Fixed Departure price, each seat is backed by a confirmed airline PNR, and every date shows how many seats are left. When a date sells out, it closes.

Flights home from Dubai are busiest around Diwali, Eid, Onam, Christmas and the UAE school summer break, when thousands of families and workers head to India at the same time. Fares on the live market can climb fast in those weeks. A series seat priced earlier often works out better, but not always, so the route pages also let you compare with normal fares before you book.

Dubai to India routes on fixed dates

• Dubai to Delhi
• Dubai to Mumbai
• Dubai to Kochi
• Dubai to Amritsar
• Dubai to Ahmedabad
• Dubai to Jaipur
• Dubai to Pune

Each route has its own page with the dates and airlines that currently hold seats. If your day is missing, check the days either side or open all fares for the live options.

Who flies these seats?

Mostly NRIs and UAE-based workers going home on leave, families visiting relatives in Kerala, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, and Indian holidaymakers who flew out on one ticket and want a fixed price for the return. Dubai to Kochi is especially busy around Onam and the school break, while Dubai to Amritsar and Dubai to Delhi fill up around Diwali and the winter weddings season.

Airlines you may see

Depending on the route and date, seats may come from SpiceJet, IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air or Flydubai. The airline, flight number, timings and baggage are all shown on the fare before you pay. Baggage differs between airlines and fares, and many people travelling home carry more than usual, so check the allowance carefully.

Documents for the trip home

Indian citizens need a valid Indian passport. If you live in the UAE, keep your residence visa valid for your return to Dubai, and carry your Emirates ID. Travellers who are not Indian citizens need the right Indian visa. Enter names exactly as in the passport, since name changes are usually not allowed on series fares.

Fare rules worth knowing

• Fixed departure and series fares are usually non-refundable
• Date and name changes are usually not allowed, or are limited
• Baggage is shown on each fare and is not the same on every airline
• The full rules appear before payment
• If the airline reschedules or cancels, we help you rebook or claim a refund under the airline's rules

Planning around the busy weeks

The UAE school summer holidays fall in the very hot months of July and August, and they are one of the busiest times to fly from Dubai to India. Diwali, Eid and Christmas to New Year also sell out early. If you know your leave dates, book once seats appear rather than waiting for a fall in price. Payment is online through the payment gateway, and the ticket is issued against the confirmed PNR and emailed to you. For 10 or more people travelling together, ask for a negotiated group fare.

Going the other way as well? Seats from India to Dubai are listed on our Dubai fixed departure page, with routes from many Indian cities, so you can line up both directions on fixed prices. Many families book the outbound and return legs separately this way, picking whichever dates have seats, and then compare the total with a normal return fare before paying. If you are flexible by a day or two, check the dates either side of your leave, as a nearby date often still has seats when the busiest day has sold out.
