When to fly to Lahore
December–January is the busiest time for family visits and weddings, and fares climb from early December. Eid al-Fitr (expected around 10 March 2027, after Ramadan from about 8–9 February) and Eid al-Adha (expected around 16 May 2027) are also busy; both dates depend on moon sighting. October–March has the most comfortable weather, but winter smog in Lahore is often heavy, roughly November–January. May–August is very hot, with monsoon rain in July–August, and is often cheaper outside the Eid weeks and Australian school holidays. SA school holidays run 12 Dec 2026 – 27 Jan 2027.

Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)
Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.
