Srinagar handles mostly domestic flights plus a few seasonal Haj/charter international services, so a scheduled Abu Dhabi trip needs a metro connection. Delhi (SXR–DEL about 1h 30m) is the main gateway; Mumbai works for southern routings. From Delhi, Etihad, IndiGo and Air India Express fly AUH directly, about 3h 45m, several times daily. A single Delhi connection keeps the journey to 7–10 hours including the layover.
Delhi is closest and has the most Abu Dhabi frequency, making it the default. Mumbai suits travellers who find a cheaper or better-timed onward leg there. Keep a 3-hour buffer when legs are on separate tickets, since a missed connection is your risk. A single through-PNR on Air India or Etihad protects the connection and through-checks your baggage, worth the small premium.
Economy round-trips from Srinagar to Abu Dhabi typically run ₹26,000–₹46,000 depending on season and lead time. Etihad includes generous baggage; low-cost onward legs sell it separately, so compare totals not headline fares. Book 6–8 weeks ahead and fly mid-week for the best value. Gulf summer (May–September) is cheapest. Compare onward pricing on our Delhi to Abu Dhabi page.
Indian passport holders can get a UAE visa on arrival at Abu Dhabi if they hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa or residence permit; otherwise apply for a UAE tourist e-visa (14, 30 or 60 days) before travel. A normal Indian passport with 6 months validity needs the pre-arranged e-visa, usually issued in 3–4 working days. See our visa guide for the latest requirements.
Abu Dhabi's comfortable season is November to February, when temperatures are mild and outdoor sights shine — this is the priciest, busiest window. For value, fly May, June or September when fierce Gulf heat suppresses demand and fares fall 20–30 percent. Kashmiri travellers also see spikes around Eid; book early if your dates fall in those weeks.
Many on this route carry goods, gifts and supplies, so allowances matter. Etihad economy typically includes about 30 kg; low-cost onward legs may offer only 20–30 kg as a paid add-on. On separate tickets your baggage may not through-check, meaning a re-collect and re-check at Delhi that adds 60–90 minutes. A single through-ticket avoids the double handling.
Abu Dhabi's Zayed International airport opened a vast new terminal and sits about 30–40 km from the city centre, roughly 30–40 minutes by taxi. Public buses connect the airport to downtown cheaply. Etihad and partners offer connections deeper into the Gulf and beyond. Allow 45–60 minutes for immigration during busy evening arrival banks.
No scheduled non-stop. You connect via Delhi or Mumbai, with total travel of about 7–10 hours including a connection of 3 hours or so.
SXR–DEL (about 1h 30m) then a DEL–AUH leg of roughly 3h 45m on Etihad, IndiGo or Air India Express is the fastest and most frequent option.
Yes, unless you hold a US/UK/Schengen visa for visa-on-arrival. Otherwise apply for a UAE e-visa (14, 30 or 60 days) about 3–4 working days ahead.
Economy round-trips typically run ₹26,000–₹46,000, cheapest in the May–September Gulf summer when fares fall 20–30 percent below the winter peak.
Etihad economy usually includes about 30 kg; low-cost onward legs may offer only 20–30 kg as a paid add-on, so compare full totals.
Zayed International is about 30–40 km from central Abu Dhabi, roughly 30–40 minutes by taxi, with cheaper public buses also available.
