Why book

A southerly Bangkok to Dubai variant that dips further south over the Bay of Bengal and southern India before crossing the Arabian Sea into the UAE. Has the same warning area safety as the direct route — both avoid all warning areas. Used by some Emirates seasonal flights and charter operators. Adds roughly 10–15 minutes versus the main route.

Worth knowing

Bay of Bengal weather during monsoon season may cause minor delays. The southern path over southern India is clear of all warning areas.
