Patna (Jay Prakash Narayan Airport, PAT) has direct flights to Delhi (≈ 1h 20m on IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet) and Mumbai (≈ 2h 20m). From Delhi, you can connect to RKT on Air Arabia or take a Dubai (DXB) connection and then a 45-minute domestic UAE bus/bus service to Ras Al Khaimah. Air Arabia operates direct flights from DEL to RKT (Ras Al Khaimah); this is typically the most cost-effective route for the PAT–RKT corridor. From Mumbai (BOM), connections to RKT exist on Air Arabia and flydubai (some via SHJ or DXB). The DEL routing usually has lower combined fares and more departure times.
Air Arabia's Ras Al Khaimah operation (Air Arabia Abu Dhabi and Air Arabia UAE both serve RKT from various Indian cities) makes the emirate one of the best-connected in the Gulf for budget travellers. Fares from DEL to RKT on Air Arabia typically range from ≈ ₹12,000–₹25,000 return, significantly below the equivalent Dubai fares in many windows. flydubai operates DEL–DXB with onward bus connections to RAK city (≈ 1h by UAE intercity bus or taxi). The PAT–DEL domestic leg adds ≈ ₹3,000–₹6,000 return. Total PAT to RKT round-trip budget: ≈ ₹18,000–₹35,000 depending on airline, advance purchase, and season.
Indian passport holders require a pre-arranged UAE eVisa to enter Ras Al Khaimah (or any UAE emirate). Apply online at the ICP UAE portal or through an airline-affiliated visa service. The standard 30-day tourist visa costs ≈ AED 250–300 (≈ ₹5,500–₹6,500). Processing takes 3–5 working days; pay for express processing if travelling within a week.

Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) is ≈ 6 km from Patna city centre (Gandhi Maidan area) and easily accessible by auto-rickshaw (≈ ₹100–₹150) or cab (≈ ₹200–₹300). The airport has a compact terminal with a single check-in hall serving domestic and limited international flights. For a DEL connection, morning departures from PAT (06:00–09:00) give the most comfortable layover time at Delhi for afternoon/evening DEL–RKT departures. Arrive at PAT at least 75 minutes before departure. The terminal has basic food and retail facilities post-security. IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet all serve the PAT–DEL sector with ≈ 3–6 daily departures.
Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT) is ≈ 18 km from RAK city centre. The airport is modern and efficient with taxi and ride-hailing services available. RAK is the most mountainous emirate — the Hajar Mountains run through the eastern part and the Jebel Jais peak (≈ 1,934 m) is home to the world's longest zipline at ≈ 2.83 km. The emirate is gaining traction as a premium beach destination with resorts at Al Hamra, Mina Al Arab, and the new Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort (opening 2027). Historically, RAK's National Museum and archaeological sites at Dhayah Fort are worth a half-day. Unlike Dubai, RAK has a quieter, lower-cost lifestyle that many Bihar diaspora families prefer.
Most Bihar diaspora travellers to Ras Al Khaimah travel during: Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha (major return-home windows for workers, check Islamic calendar — typically April and June in 2026); Diwali/October window (when Indian families visit Gulf-based relatives); and summer (May–July, when UAE schools close and Indian children visit worker-parents). These are the highest-demand and most expensive windows — book PAT–DEL and DEL–RKT tickets 6–8 weeks ahead. The cheapest time to fly is January–February and September: fewer diaspora trips, UAE temperatures pleasant, and fares ≈ 20–30% lower than peak. RAK's outdoor tourism (Jebel Jais, beaches) is also best October–April (25–35°C).
At Delhi T3, international passengers arriving from PAT domestically must exit the domestic arrivals area, collect baggage, and then re-check in at the international departure counters for the DEL–RKT leg.

T3 is a large, modern terminal with extensive duty-free shopping, food courts (post-security, international), and currency exchange. If you need to apply for a UAE eVisa at the last minute, note that some UAE consulate-approved visa agents have desks at DEL, but always apply well in advance online. DEL currency exchange rates are reasonable for AED pre-purchase before landing in RAK.
