Looking to cut travel costs in 2026, when is the cheapest day to fly from the UAE and which destinations offer the best value?

New data from Skyscanner shows Saturday is currently the cheapest day to fly from the UAE on average — contrary to the common belief that midweek travel is cheaper — with prices varying by route and month and flexible travellers better able to snag deals using whole-month search tools; Indian cities dominate the list of most affordable destinations, led by Chennai, Kozhikode and Mumbai, while Istanbul, Cairo and Manila also rank among the best-value options as most UAE residents plan overseas trips this year but remain price-conscious and flexible on dates. Do you plan your trips around the cheapest days, or do convenience and timing matter more to you?
