HELP! Cheapest flights to Dubai in Summer

Hi, I have been shopping around for flights for Summer (beginning of July time) for Dubai.
I am staying for 10-14 days.

Does anybody know any websites / deals for the cheapest flight prices?

Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance! :)

    I hope you like the heat!
  • I am not prepared for the heat no! Only been to places like Spain and Cyprus before.
    I don't manage with heat well either, especially at night!... and that's only in places like Spain!
    Hopefully I shall get a good tan :)

    I can't decide if you're being serious, or just mischevious as I poked my nose into your thread!

    If you are being serious then perhaps you should research temperatures a little further?

    Of course, we are all different and I have only stayed briefly in Dubai in January but I have read reports of summer temperatures that means I would never contemplate returning during the hottest months as conditions sound quite unbearable (for me!)

    if you dont manage well i would advise against 14 days in dubai during summer months.

    temps normally between 35-40 degrees celsius but can reach 48 with humidity 85%

    forget the tan if you can bear to sit out in it you will be cremated.

    It's a free holiday for me with a friend as long as I pay for my flights, so I'm far too tempted to decline.
    When I say I don't manage well, I mean I have sleepless nights... I don't tend to have much of a problem in the day.

    But yes I agree, this is going to be extreme!

    Thanks for the help

  • The flights are usually cheaper in the summer because it's so hot. I have to say I have been there different months and don't have a problem with the heat.

    in that case you should be ok as all hotels etc will be air conned,as said due to the extreme temp the flights in summer are usually cheaper,i would also think flights from london will be cheaper due to several airlines flying from there.

    for flights try all the usual sites like skyscanner,expedia etc

    The only thing to do in Dubai in July is walk around the air conditioned shopping malls all day. Don't even think about stepping outside.
