India flights usually enter the country at Mumbai (formerly Bombay), Delhi, Chennai (formerly Madras), Kolkata (Calcutta) and Bangalore although other Indian airports have been upgraded to receive International flights including charters to Goa and Trivandrum. From the UK, direct flight times are around ten hours.

Flights to India take you to a unique and fascinating travel destination, steeped in culture, unpredictable, and full of clamour and diversity. Whether you visit the magnificent Taj Mahal, Darjeeling's hill station monasteries and tea plantations, or choose to explore Delhi, or the distinctly Portuguese beach resorts of Goa, you cannot fail to be overawed and astounded at this incredible country. Don't forget to try coconut water - a sweet and safe-to-drink beverage that is easily found in Indian tourist destinations and the many and varied foods using local spices.
Peak Season
As the weather varies widely across India, flight prices can depend on where within the country you fly to. Speaking very generally, high season will be around May and June, although the Christmas season, school holidays, October (no monsoon for much of the country) and November can also be very popular. The best method of finding a cheap flight, at these times, is to use our price comparison tool and then book your flight well in advance. Goa is only served direct through the winter months on dedicated charter services.
Off Season
Cheap flights to India will generally be easier to find during monsoon season, roughly July until September, though this can vary according to the area of India in question. In the winter months of January and December, it can get very cold in some parts of India, which will also cause a drop in air fares to those areas.
