UAE travellers, airfares for National Day weekend getaways will not come cheap

By Staff Reporter
Dubai: UAE residents planning a short holiday trip close to UAE National Day break next month face a steep rise in travel costs, even by 30-40%.

That means fares to in-demand visa-free or visa-on-arrival short-haul destinations like Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Nepal, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan are going to see such spikes. For longer haul destinations, ticket rates could increase by as much as 80-90% in some cases.
