Flights to India for Feb-Mar 2006?

Anybody know of any good places to look for flights during the beginning of Feburary and returning a month after? I'm quite flexible with dates. At the moment, the best price I can find is £330 all taxes included.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    That's a pretty good fare for India!

  • My thoughts exactly Pin.I have looked all over and can definetly not beat that price.
    What company gave you your quote of £330?

  • It was with Alitalia Airlines... not a direct flight, but, it's coming to £328.00 GBP (incl. tax)... Found it on Deckchair.com. Dates I put in were 7 Feb to 7 Mar 2006 flying to Delhi.
  • Ah thats why,i was looking for direct flights.Still a good price.Myself i have never been a lover of indirect flights(just want to get to destination without all the stops).

    Thats a good fare. My wife is flying to India on Alitalia during Feb. We booked a month ago and got £334 so £330 in very good. We hunted around everywhere and this was the best price. Obviously, if you want to fly direct, add another £100 or so.

  • So, nobody has been able to find cheaper? That's fine, thanks for all the information!
  • Where in India? Don't some of the charter flights go to Goa? Or might be worth getting one of those cheapie charter holidays and not turn up to the hotel?

    You already got a good price. I got from Alitalia web site for £ 335 to delhi and all the agents quoted me more than £ 420.Well done.
