Best Time to Book Umrah Flights to Jeddah

Fares on the London–Jeddah route move with the Islamic calendar and UK school holidays:

  • Cheapest months: typically, November and other off-peak months outside Ramadan and summer
  • Most expensive months: Ramadan and July, when demand from both Umrah pilgrims and general travelers’ peaks
  • Booking window: aim to book 2–3 months ahead for the best combination of price and flight choice, earlier for Ramadan Umrah

If your dates are flexible, shifting your trip by even a week either side of school holidays can bring the fare down noticeably.
