According to a recent study by Skyscanner, airfares to cities like Bucharest (Romania), Trabzon (Türkiye), and Beijing (China) are expected to drop significantly in 2025. Bucharest will see a 35% decrease in ticket prices, Trabzon a 31% drop, and Beijing a 23% reduction, making them some of the best budget-friendly destinations for Dubai-based travellers.
**Bucharest, Romania: A Perfect Mix of History and Modernity**
Bucharest is an increasingly popular destination for those departing from Dubai, known for its blend of historic architecture and modern vibrancy. Whether you’re exploring its iconic landmarks or enjoying the lively cultural scene, Bucharest promises an enriching experience. With the increased number of flights from Dubai to Romania, and growing competition between airlines, travel costs are becoming more affordable.
**Trabzon, Türkiye: A Nature Lover’s Paradise**
If you’re searching for breathtaking natural landscapes, Trabzon is a great choice. Nestled along the Black Sea coast, Trabzon offers stunning views, rich history, and unique cultural experiences. Thanks to expanded flight routes and rising interest from tourists in Dubai and beyond, airfare to this picturesque city is expected to drop, making it a perfect getaway.
**Beijing, China: Ancient Wonders Await**
Beijing is a treasure trove of historical marvels, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Now, with airfares dropping by 23%, it’s more accessible than ever for Dubai residents. New flight routes and increased competition are driving down prices, allowing travellers to explore this incredible city without breaking the bank.
**Other Affordable Destinations for 2025**
In addition to Bucharest, Trabzon, and Beijing, there are several other cities expected to become more affordable for Dubai travellers in 2025. These include:
– **Tokyo, Japan**
– **Baku, Azerbaijan**
– **Seoul, South Korea**
– **Seattle, US**
– **Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia**
– **Istanbul, Türkiye**
– **Cape Town, South Africa**
According to Ayoub El Mamoun, a GCC travel expert at Skyscanner, the drop in prices is largely driven by the addition of new flight routes and increased competition among airlines. For example, Saudi Arabia has added six new routes in the past four years, significantly boosting competition and lowering costs.
**Post-COVID-19 Travel Boom: Airlines Expanding Networks**
Airlines based in the UAE and around the world have been expanding their networks aggressively since the post-COVID-19 travel recovery. As travel demand continues to rise, airlines are adding more routes to cater to passengers flying from Dubai and other global hubs. However, some airlines are facing delays in aircraft deliveries from Boeing, which may affect certain routes.
**UAE Residents Continue to Prioritise Travel in 2025**
Despite economic uncertainties, UAE residents are showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to travel. Skyscanner’s Travel Trends 2025 report reveals that 55% of UAE travellers plan to spend more on flights next year, while 44% will allocate more for accommodation and 28% for car rentals. When selecting a vacation destination, factors like flight, hotel, and visa costs are top considerations for Dubai residents.
Additionally, UAE travellers are willing to invest in extra comforts to enhance their travel experience. Many prefer to spend on high-quality in-flight meals, access to airport lounges, and seat selection for greater comfort.
With new routes being added and competition among airlines heating up, Dubai travellers are in for an exciting and affordable travel year in 2025. Start planning your budget-friendly vacation now and explore the world without overspending!
