There’s good news for those who’ve opted for staycations in the face of high airfares that spiked recently at the end of June as most schools in the UAE began their summer break.

July, too, seems to be a peak time to travel yet UAE airlines are offering discounted fares which run most of the month.

But Dubai’s Emirates airlines is now offering special fares to several of its destinations, if booked during the sale period that runs until August 1, 2016.

Under the deal, an economy class return ticket from Dubai to Karachi is priced at Dh1,140; from Dubai to Mumbai at Dh1,160; from Dubai to Bangkok at Dh2,610, from Dubai to Kochi at Dh1,080 and to Manila at Dh2,520. There are several other destinations on the list.

The travel period is between now until November 30. The fares on offer are inclusive of all taxes and fuel surcharges. Moreover, there will be no ‘service fee’ when booking online for this campaign.

All fares and flights are subject to availability and valid for return travel only.

Meanwhile, Flydubai is offering summer savings with up to 40 per cent off their return fares to select destinations. You need to book before the midnight of July 20 for flights between September 18, 2016, and March 25, 2017.

Economy class tickets under the offer to Africa are priced starting at Dh963; to destinations in Caucasus & Central Asia starting Dh588; to Europe starting Dh799; to GCC starting Dh388; to Indian Subcontinent starting Dh613 and to Middle East starting Dh410.

As always, terms and conditions apply to get these fares which can vary on the final destination and the availability of seats.

Etihad Airways is running a special fare to Manila, a popular destination, among the Filipino community in the UAE. You can book your seat until July 31, 2016, and fly on fare starting from Dh1,550.
