Tips for flying to India

  • Book early for December and Diwali. These are the busiest times for travel to India, and fares can double close to departure.
  • Compare one-stop routes. Connections via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul or Singapore often cost less than nonstop flights.
  • Try nearby airports. In the UK, compare Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham. In the US, compare JFK and Newark.
  • Fly into a different Indian city. A cheap flight to Delhi or Mumbai plus a short domestic hop can beat a direct flight to Goa or Kochi.
  • Check baggage rules. Allowances on routes to India vary widely between airlines and fare types.
  • Sort your documents early. Check your passport, OCI card or e-Visa well before you travel.
