Other special fares include:
- Air Arabia: Abu Dhabi to Kozhikode from Dh255; Sharjah to Kochi from Dh349; Sharjah to Thiruvananthapuram from Dh399 (October 10–11).

Onam travel packages under Dh1,000
Travel agencies are also offering budget-friendly tour packages to Sri Lanka and Bhutan, including Onam-themed celebrations such as Sadhya feasts and cultural performances.
Onam, Kerala’s 10-day harvest festival, marks a season of reunions, feasts, boat races, floral carpets, and cultural shows. The festival coincides with the UAE’s post-summer travel rush, as expatriates without school-going children seize the chance to celebrate back home.
