Hello
Indian schools in Qatar will close for vacations by around June 15 and they are expected to reopen by August 27.
The travel booking websites might show you the best-discounted price, but you always end up paying an increased amount, including GST and other taxes.
While the average fares were earlier Rs 35,000, one-way tickets are now available for as low as Rs 12,500 from Dubai.
While a ticket from UAE to airports in Kerala was priced at around Rs 6,000 in October, it is over Rs 28,000 now.
All airlines slashed the air fares from UAE to Kerala to attract passengers following a steep fall in demand.
Compared to Thiruvananthapuram, there are more schedules and seats to various destinations from Kochi.
However, a traveller from India to UAE has to pay four times the UAE-India fare, with a Kochi – Dubai one-way ticket costing Rs 25,000.
Due to the heavy rush of passengers travelling home for Onam, the flight fares from Dubai to Kerala during the first week of September have also increased.
Travelling home with family would burn a huge hole in the pockets of expats, as it would make them poorer by lakhs of rupees.
The fare from Chennai to Dubai is anywhere between Rs 40,000 to 1,00,000. Normally, the rates ranged from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000.
