When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in January around $313 and peak in October near $397, 27% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 9 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under AL, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $313 for 5,475 km each way, that works out to about $29 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $43 per 1,000 km that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 24 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Abu Dhabi, this fare ranks 11th — 34% above the $233 from Vienna. It is also the 2nd cheapest of the 9 routes of similar length we watch out of London. The best time to be in Abu Dhabi: Nov–Mar.

Good to know
LON → AUH, answered.
Is $313 a good price for London to Abu Dhabi?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $360 round-trip and this fare is 13% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Abu Dhabi?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Abu Dhabi are Nov–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Abu Dhabi?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Abu Dhabi?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under AL. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
