Quick answer: Eid Al Fitr 2027 is expected on Tuesday 9 March 2027, or Wednesday 10 March if the moon is not sighted, with Ramadan starting around 8 February. For most routes from the UAE to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Egypt, the cheapest booking window is 14 to 26 weeks before travel, so for Eid flights that window is already open in November and December 2026. Sialkot and Chittagong are the exceptions, where booking later costs little extra.

Five ways to pay less for Eid travel
- Book in November or December. On most routes the cheapest window has already opened, and seats on the days just before Eid sell first.
- Compare Sharjah. Sharjah was cheaper on average for Cairo, Dhaka, Hyderabad, Multan and Trivandrum. Our route guides show the gap for each city.
- Fly a few days earlier. The last days before Eid are the busiest; leaving earlier in the last week of Ramadan is often easier.
- Consider one stop. On Dhaka, one stop tickets averaged about AED 500 less than direct.
- Spread the cost. Pay monthly instead of in full (see below).
Pay monthly for Eid tickets
UAE residents can book any airline and pay with Tabby (4 payments or up to 12 months), Tamara, or a 3 to 12 month plan on a UAE credit card from Mashreq, ADCB, RAKBANK, HSBC, FAB or Emirates NBD. We only need your phone number to send the link. For a family, that turns a large Eid booking into manageable monthly payments.
Flying family in for Eid?
If parents or relatives are coming to the UAE for Eid, see our guides to bringing family from Delhi, Kochi, Mumbai, Karachi and Manila, which include the visit visa cost.
Fares are 12 month averages from public flight search data, checked by White Sky Travel in November 2026, not live prices. Fares around Eid are usually higher than the average, and the price for your dates can be higher or lower. Eid dates are predictions and may shift by a day.
