If you’ve been thinking about flying to India sometime this year, this might be your sign to stop thinking and start booking. Air India Express has launched a new sale across its domestic and international network, with special fares available from Gulf countries. The sale is open for bookings until March 1, 2026.
The sale covers two fare types: Lite and Flex. Lite is the basic option and do not include check-in baggage. For travellers flying from the Gulf, the prices currently start from:
- BHD 47 from Bahrain
- KWD 28 from Kuwait
- OMR 22.8 from Oman
- QAR 468 from Qatar
- SAR 286 from Saudi Arabia
- AED 323 from the UAE
For those who prefer more flexibility, the Flex fare includes additional benefits, like 20kg baggage on domestic flights within India and 35kg on international routes. You can change your travel date free of charge up to three days before departure.
The discounted fares are valid for travel between March 3 to October 8, 2026, so you’ve got plenty of room to plan around school holidays, long weekends or family events.
So if a trip to India is coming up in 2026, this sale might line up perfectly with your plans. And if you’re looking for more travel options, Air India is launching a new Dubai-Hyderabad flight this March, adding another direct link between the two countries.
