📅 Monthly Delay Risk
How on-time performance typically varies through the year on DXB→MAA based on historical weather and operational patterns:
June to September is peak monsoon for most of India's west coast, south, and east. Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, and Karnataka airports see heavy rainfall-triggered delays and occasional diversions. Kolkata is hit by cyclonic systems from the Bay of Bengal. Flight cancellations spike when runways flood or cross-wind limits are exceeded. July is typically the worst month.
💡 Tip: Book refundable fares during monsoon months. Avoid tight connections: monsoon delays can cascade. Late morning flights (8-11 AM) tend to be less affected than afternoon thunderstorm window.
Oct-Nov is cyclone season for the Bay of Bengal. Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Vizag can see days-long shutdowns during major cyclones. Non-cyclone days are usually fine. Risk is episodic, not constant.
💡 Tip: Monitor weather advisories when booking Oct-Nov travel to East Coast. Most days are normal; only named cyclones trigger major disruptions.
💡 Typical price range on this route
Prices on DXB→MAA typically range from ₹14,725 to ₹37,143, based on 604 fare observations over the last 30 days.
The current lowest fare we're tracking (₹16,949) is in the typical range.
Nearby airport alternatives
Sometimes nearby airports have cheaper fares or better timings. A short taxi, ride-share or metro ride from these alternates still gets you to your destination.
