Flights to India: need to know

Cheap airline tickets to India

India takes the cake when it comes to culture and adventure! There are four international airports around the country, Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and Chennai (Madras). Flights depart New York for India almost every hour onboard airlines like Air India, Gulf Air, Qatar Airway, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and many more.

When to book the cheapest flights to India

There is at least one thing to keep in mind before booking any flights to India: the changing seasons. On top of this, India is a huge country, which means the climate varies from one region to another. When it's peak season in one place, it's low season somewhere else, which greatly affects the price of plane tickets to India.

• Peak season: Delhi is popular mid-September to March, Mumbai is popular from November to February, Goa is top from October to February and Bangalore is most popular December to February.
• Low season: Summers in India can be very hot while monsoon rains can ground flights for days.

Flight duration

A non-stop flight to India from New York takes 14 hours.

Mumbai: Formerly Bombay, India's seaside city is also the financial capital, and you can tell just by walking around the streets. Mumbai has a sparkle to it with its art-deco mansions, bazaars, temples and beautiful British colonial architecture.

Agra: Agra is home to one of India's most popular attractions, the Taj Mahal. While the city is an over-crowded and polluted metropolis, you can find a sense of calm when visiting this majestic, white palace.
