Travellers planning trips during Ramadan may find lower fares on select routes as Air Arabia rolls out discounts of up to 40 per cent on limited seats. The Sharjah-based carrier opened the offer for bookings made before February 25, with travel valid between March and June 2026. The sale applies across parts of its regional and international network, depending on fare type and availability. Early planning could benefit price-sensitive passengers, as Ramadan and upcoming spring travel are expected to shift demand patterns

Air Arabia Ramadan flight discounts

Sharjah-based low-cost carrier Air Arabia has launched a special Ramadan flight discount offer, with fares reduced by as much as 40% on selected routes for travel between March and June 2026. The promotion was announced in late February ahead of the Holy Month, which is expected to span mid-February to mid-March 2026.The discounted fares depend on the fare type booked, with the Basic ticket receiving smaller reductions and higher-tier fares like “Ultimate” qualifying for larger discounts. Travellers should note that the offer is valid for bookings made before February 25, and discounted seats are limited and may sell out quickly.Rather than aggressive advertising, these fare adjustments can be seen as part of broader seasonal pricing by airlines ahead of busy travel periods like Ramadan and the spring and early summer holidays. The emphasis for passengers should be on planning rather than promotional hype.

Top destinations for UAE residents

With Sharjah and Dubai serving as massive global hubs, the 40% discount applies to a diverse range of bucket-list locations. If you are looking for a cultural retreat, cities like Milan, Giza, and Athens are seeing high availability at these discounted rates. For those seeking nature and cooler climates, the mountain escapes of Almaty and Tbilisi remain top picks. Interestingly, the discount even extends to popular leisure spots like Phuket and the Maldives, which are often prohibitively expensive during the peak winter months. By booking during this Ramadan window, a trip that usually costs AED 2,500 could potentially be secured for as low as AED 1,500, leaving more room in the budget for destination experiences and dining.

Looking ahead

The Ramadan sale comes as regional carriers adjust fares ahead of Eid travel and early summer bookings. Airlines typically introduce limited-time pricing windows in February to stimulate early reservations before demand increases closer to holiday peaks.While promotional fares such as Dh149 appear attractive, actual availability depends heavily on route popularity and booking timing. Travellers seeking lower fares are generally advised to confirm flexible travel dates and review fare conditions before finalising bookings.For price-sensitive passengers planning ahead of Ramadan or post-Eid travel, the current booking window offers a defined opportunity, but one that may narrow as inventory reduces.
