Happy news for summer travellers as IndiGo offers big discounts on India flights

Summer vacation is the season when many Indian expatriates, especially those working in Gulf countries, plan trips home. Airfares often rise during this period as demand increases, making travel more expensive for families.

However, that trend may ease this year, with IndiGo, India’s largest airline, launching attractive summer offers.

According to Gulf News, IndiGo has announced a four-day Summer Getaway Flash Sale, offering up to 10% off domestic and international fares, including routes popular with UAE travellers flying to India during the holiday season.

The sale is open for bookings from April 14 to April 17, 2026, for travel between July 1 and October 9, 2026 — a peak period for families, expatriates and leisure travellers.

Passengers can claim the discount by using promo code SUMR10 while booking through IndiGo’s website, mobile app, WhatsApp channel, AI assistant 6Eskai, or selected travel partners.

For UAE residents planning summer travel to cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi and Chennai, the offer comes at a key time as demand for India-bound flights usually rises sharply before school holidays.

IndiGo is also offering discounts on travel add-ons. Fast Forward services are available at up to 70% off, prepaid excess baggage at up to 50% off, and standard seat selection at 15% off on selected routes.

Extra-legroom Emergency XL seats on select domestic Indian flights start at INR500, or around Dh22 at current exchange rates.

The airline said the promotion is aimed at making summer travel more affordable while offering greater flexibility across its domestic and international network.

IndiGo currently operates a fleet of more than 400 aircraft and runs over 2,200 daily flights connecting more than 95 destinations in India and 40 international cities. The carrier flew 124 million passengers in 2025, strengthening its position as India’s largest airline and one of Asia’s fastest-growing carriers
