When to book this route
Less sensitive to booking window than the South Asia routes. UK school holidays and the winter months carry the clearest premium; outside those, fares are comparatively stable year-round.
Demand — and often price — tends to build in the final 3–4 weeks before these periods. Consider booking earlier if your dates are fixed. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.
