Summer season can inflate airfares, but travelers in the UAE can still find ways to save money and maximize the value of their tickets. The article from Gulf News outlines several options to consider before purchasing a flight ticket. Students have access to special discounts from airlines like Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad Airways, which offer up to 10% off fares, additional baggage allowance, and free date changes.
Singapore Airlines and Turkish Airlines also provide student discounts and increased baggage allowance. Other airlines, such as Air India and IndiGo, offer discounted fares and extra baggage for eligible Indian students. General promotions, such as IndiGo's up to 20% off base fares and Air India Express's up to 20% off eligible network routes, can also help reduce costs.
Before finalizing a booking, travelers should consider the total value of the fare, including baggage allowance, flexibility in date changes, and travel insurance benefits, rather than just focusing on the headline price.
