How to find cheaper fares in festival season

  • Book early. Festival dates are fixed months ahead; the lowest fares usually sell first.
  • Shift by a day. Use the price calendar on any search to compare nearby dates.
  • Try nearby airports. Patna, Darbhanga or Gaya for Bihar; Dabolim or Mopa for Goa; Dubai, Sharjah or Abu Dhabi for the UAE.
  • Book the return too. The days right after a festival are just as busy as the days before it.
  • Set a fare alert. We'll tell you when the price for your route drops.

Festival travel — FAQ

When should I book flights for festivals in India?

As early as you can. Festival dates are known months in advance, so the cheapest seats on popular days are often booked first. As a rule of thumb, start comparing 6–8 weeks ahead for domestic festival travel and 8–10 weeks ahead for international holidays.

Which days are the most expensive around a festival?

Usually the two or three days just before the festival and the day or two right after it, when everyone travels at once. Flying a day earlier, on the festival day itself, or mid-week can help.

Is it cheaper to fly to a nearby airport?

Sometimes. For Bihar, compare Patna, Darbhanga and Gaya; for Goa, Dabolim and Mopa; for the UAE, Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Add the road journey before you decide.
