Airlines flying Lucknow to Sharjah
Air Arabia is the primary carrier on the Lucknow–Sharjah route, operating ≈ 3–5 non-stop frequencies per week on its A320 fleet. The flight takes ≈ 4h 30m. IndiGo and Air India also connect LKO to the UAE but typically route via Delhi or Mumbai to Dubai (DXB) rather than Sharjah. For the cheapest option, Air Arabia's direct service avoids the hub detour and additional transit time.
Cheapest time to fly and book

Booking ≈ 6–10 weeks ahead secures the best rates on Air Arabia. Watch for their periodic sales, which can bring one-way fares below ₹8,000.
Flight duration and routing
The non-stop Air Arabia flight covers ≈ 2,700 km in about 4h 30m, crossing Rajasthan and the Arabian Sea. If the non-stop doesn't align with your schedule, 1-stop options via Delhi or Mumbai to Dubai (with a short drive or bus to Sharjah) are available through IndiGo and Air India, but they add 3–5h to the journey. The non-stop is by far the most practical choice.
Baggage and fares
Air Arabia is a low-cost carrier — the base fare includes only cabin baggage (10 kg). Checked baggage must be purchased separately in increments of 20 kg or 30 kg. Passengers relocating or visiting family often need the higher allowance. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026. Compare Air Arabia's bundled fare (bag + meal + seat) against the add-on pricing to find the best deal.
Airports and terminals
Flights depart from Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO), ≈ 14 km from the city centre. You arrive at Sharjah International Airport (SHJ), a compact single-terminal facility located ≈ 12 km from Sharjah's city centre and roughly 20 km from Dubai's Deira neighbourhood. Taxis, buses, and the E311 highway make the transfer to Dubai straightforward.
Visa and entry for Indians
Indian passport holders need a pre-arranged UAE eVisa, which can be sponsored by a hotel, airline, or resident. If you hold a valid US, UK, or Schengen visa, you may qualify for a visa-on-arrival — verify current rules before travel. The eVisa process typically takes 3–5 business days.
