Are airfares expected to rise during the upcoming 9-day UAE holiday in December, and what should travellers do?

Yes, industry experts warn that airfares could jump by up to Dh1,200 or 50 per cent on popular international routes during December, as UAE residents travel for Eid Al Etihad, Christmas, and New Year. For example, a Dubai–London round trip priced around Dh2,800 today could surge to Dh3,800–Dh4,200 by late November. Travellers can save 30–40 per cent by booking early rather than waiting until peak season. With fares rising sharply during December 20–28, the advice is to secure tickets now for holiday trips. What’s your take — will you book early to beat the spike, or wait for last-minute deals?
