Wego unveils travel trends for Kuwait...

Data shows a 17% YoY increase in international flight searches departing from Kuwait

Online travel marketplace Wego has shared insights on this year’s Kuwait National Day travel trends.

National Day (Sunday 25 February 2024) and Liberation Day (Monday 26 February 2024) bring with a four-day weekend to the Gulf Coast country, giving Kuwaitis an opportunity to holiday.

According to Wego data, there has been a 17% year-on-year increase in international flight searches originating from Kuwait for travel during this holiday.

February in Kuwait is typically a high travel season with the annual dual celebrations. Wego has so far recorded a 24% uptick in bookings compared to the previous month’s figures for the same period.

The data also showed that Kuwaiti travellers made their National Day trip bookings a little earlier this year. On average, flights scheduled around the holiday were booked 33 days in advance, compared to an average of 29 days in 2023.

The most popular destinations in terms of bookings from Kuwait for travel during the holiday include Cairo, Jeddah, Amman, Abu Dhabi and Istanbul. All of these destinations grant visa-free entry to Kuwaiti passport holders.

Average airfares to these destinations have collectively increased by 13% compared to the same period last year. The price of a one-way ticket to Istanbul has more than doubled, while tickets to Jeddah and Amman are now 29% and 61% higher respectively.
