Wedding season: what to know before you fly
After Dev Uthani Ekadashi on 20 November, the wedding season begins — and in 2026 it has only about eleven auspicious dates before Kharmas starts on 16 December. With so many weddings on the same days, flights to wedding cities fill quickly, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.
If you are travelling with family, book together early so everyone is on the same flight, and keep wedding outfits and jewellery in your cabin bag. Exact muhurat dates vary by city and family tradition, so confirm with your family priest.
