Peak season:
November to February is the busiest time of the year, the weather isn’t too hot that it’s uncomfortable but it’s hot enough to draw in the crowds. Cheap flights to Abu-Dhabi can be difficult to find over these months and you are best to book well in advance to secure any saving on your flight tickets. There is an annual event in January which will increase the prices of flights to Abu-Dhabi and accommodation, but also sees more tourists visit, making the city very crowded.
Off Season:
March to October brings extreme high temperatures that even the locals struggle to deal with, however it also offers the cheapest flights to Abu-Dhabi so if you can deal with the heat you can find a good deal on flight tickets. Even though the crowds are smaller it can still be hard to find cheap flights to Abu-Dhabi during this off season so make sure you secure your flight tickets in advance.

During any event or festival, flight tickets will be more expensive even if you preplan slightly. Make sure to book a window seat when booking your flights to Abu-Dhabi for stunning views as you approach. Remember that as Abu-Dhabi is a Muslim country, you should do a bit of homework on how to behave when you get there so as not to offend any of the locals.

Abu Dhabi International Airport is the second biggest in the United Arab Emirates, after Dubai International.
It was also the first airport in the Middle East to receive regulatory approval for enhanced low-visibility operators. This classification is expected to minimise delays as a result of fog and sand storms, and has only been given to a select number of airports across the world.
There are currently three terminals at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Terminals 1 and 2 handle most of the traffic, and Terminal 3 is the more luxurious Etihad Terminal. Thanks to a direct highway that feeds into the city, transfers into Abu Dhabi are generally quick and painless, even in the heat and traffic congestion of a busy summer’s day.
Abu Dhabi International Airport is an often chaotic introduction to the modern metropolis of Abu Dhabi and its many attractions, although with the development of Terminal 3, Etihad passengers (at least) are assured a most comfortable experience.
