Sharjah Fixed Departure Flights from India

Sharjah fixed departure flights are seats from Indian cities to Sharjah 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 each date shows how many seats are left. Once a date sells out, it closes.

Sharjah sits right next to Dubai, so many travellers use it as a second gateway to the same area. If you are staying in Dubai, visiting family in Sharjah, Ajman or the northern Emirates, or simply cannot find seats on your Dubai date, a Sharjah flight can be a practical choice. As with every fixed departure route, the seat is not always cheaper than the live fare, so you can compare with normal fares on the route page.

Sharjah routes from India

• Delhi to Sharjah
• Ahmedabad to Sharjah
• Mumbai to Sharjah

Each route has its own page with the dates and airlines currently holding seats. If your preferred day is missing, look at nearby dates, compare with the Dubai routes from the same city, or open all fares.

Airlines you may see

Sharjah seats may come from Air Arabia, IndiGo, Air India Express or SpiceJet, depending on the route and date. We show a seat only when an airline has series inventory for that day. The airline, flight number, timings and baggage appear on each fare before payment. Baggage rules can differ a lot between fares, so check what is included before you confirm, especially if you are carrying gifts or shopping home.

Who uses Sharjah fixed dates?

Holidaymakers heading for Dubai who are happy to land a short drive away, families from Gujarat, Maharashtra and North India visiting relatives in Sharjah and Ajman, and workers based in the northern Emirates returning after leave. Ahmedabad to Sharjah is a natural fit for travellers from Gujarat, while Delhi and Mumbai serve a wide catchment.

Getting on to Dubai is straightforward, because Sharjah and Dubai are neighbours and taxis and other road transport link the two. Journey time depends heavily on traffic, which can be heavy at peak hours, so plan your arrival time and hotel check-in with that in mind, and allow a little extra time on the way back to the airport too.

Visa and documents

Indian passport holders need a valid UAE visa before flying to Sharjah, the same visa that covers Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and JourneyDeal can help you apply for one. Keep your passport valid well beyond your return date and enter names exactly as printed in it, because name changes are usually not allowed on these 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 varies by airline
• Full rules appear before payment
• If the airline reschedules or cancels, we help you rebook or claim a refund under the airline's rules

When to travel

The cooler months suit sightseeing and desert trips, and they are busy around Diwali and Christmas to New Year. From June to August the Gulf is very hot, although family visits continue through the summer. Indian school holidays and the Eid holidays are peak periods on all UAE routes, so book once you see seats for your dates. For 10 or more travellers, ask for a negotiated group fare.

Booking takes a few steps: choose the route and date, select the fare, add passenger details exactly as in each passport and pay online through the payment gateway. The ticket is issued against the confirmed PNR and emailed to you. If Sharjah has no seats on your day, the Dubai page from the same city is the next place to look.

For travel agents

Agents can register free and, after a KYC check, see net fares on the same Sharjah fixed departure inventory, add their own markup and book for customers using a wallet they top up.
