Peaks fall over Dubai's pleasant winter (Nov–Feb), Diwali, Christmas and the school holidays, plus during big events like the shopping festival. For Gulf routes, book ≈ 4–8 weeks ahead for the best non-stop fares; closer in, prices firm up. Mid-week flights are typically cheaper than weekend getaways.
Flight duration & routing
Non-stop IXC–DXB is ≈ 4h in the air. If you take a 1-stop via Delhi, total time stretches to ≈ 6–8h with the layover.
