Ramadan and the weeks immediately before Hajj season are typically the highest-demand windows on this route. Outside them, pricing tends to be calmer.
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.
If more than one airport is realistically within reach, comparing the total journey, not just the headline fare, is usually worth the extra few minutes.
Every fare below is an example checked on the date shown, not a live quote. The history is what makes it worth tracking over time.
