Abu Dhabi travellers aren’t wasting any time. With Wizz Air set to stop flying from the capital on September 1, 2025, residents are racing to grab whatever low-cost tickets are left. One-way fares start at just AED204, and for many, it’s the last chance to enjoy a budget-friendly trip before the airline pulls out of the UAE.
UAE Travellers Scramble For Wizz Air Deals Before Flights Stop In September
For a lot of UAE travellers, especially those based in Abu Dhabi, Wizz Air wasn’t just another airline; it was the one that made spontaneous trips possible. No extra fuss, no steep fares. If you wanted to escape for a few days without spending a fortune, it usually had you covered. A few days in Georgia? Last-minute plans to visit Armenia? Wizz Air made it doable without draining your wallet.
Now, as the airline prepares to stop operations, people are scrambling to book what could be their final trip with it. August flights are disappearing fast, with many travellers eager to make the most of these last few weeks. For fans of the airline, it’s not just about a flight; it’s a chance to revisit the freedom and spontaneity it offered, one more time.
The Most Popular Routes Flying Off the Charts
Ticket prices are doing much of the talking. These are the current one-way fares leaving from Abu Dhabi:
- Kutaisi, Georgia – AED204
- Yerevan, Armenia – AED264
- Baku, Azerbaijan – AED254
- Tashkent, Uzbekistan – AED314
- Almaty, Kazakhstan – AED404
For a lot of travellers, hopping over to Yerevan or Baku has often been more budget-friendly than spending a weekend in Dubai. That’s one big reason why flights are vanishing fast.
Almaty and Tashkent weren’t always on people’s travel lists. That’s slowly shifting now. With Wizz Air getting ready to close shop, there’s a noticeable rush. People are booking quickly, and by the looks of some travel sites, August flights are already starting to fill up.
What This Means For Travellers In The UAE
Now that it’s pulling out, the impact is real. People who once relied on those low-cost flights to lesser-known destinations are feeling the gap. The usual weekend getaway may soon come with a higher price—or fewer choices altogether. Travel experts say it’s best not to wait. Prices are climbing and availability is shrinking, with the final weeks expected to see the biggest surge in bookings.
Whether another budget airline will fill the gap remains to be seen. But for now, it’s all about squeezing in one last trip before Wizz Air officially takes off for good.
