Cached-fare history: across 8 months, Oct is the cheapest for LON → DXB. Best time to be there: Nov–Mar.
Fares bottom out in October around $224 and peak in April near $444 — a $220 spread across the 8 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 10 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip — ticketed under Wizz Air UK, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $224 for 5,473 km each way, that works out to about $20 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 26 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Dubai, this fare ranks 3rd — 10% above the $204 from Stockholm. It is also the cheapest of the 9 routes of similar length we watch out of London.

Across 8 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Dubai are Nov–Mar — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Dubai?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 8 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Dubai?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Wizz Air UK. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). 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.
