    cheapest flight will be Aeroflot or Syrian Aarab Airlines.
    i will suggest book aeroflot direct with airline . coz travel agent will try to rip you off with commision and credit card charges.

    the cost is £315 + Tax ( 372.50 ).
    if you book direct with aeroflot u need not pay any credict card charges also.

    website is https://www.aeroflot.co.uk

    another option will be turkmenistan airlines.

    if you are looking for better service then you need to spend above £400 with
    Gulf Air or Etihad.
    major consilidator for Etihad is Cruxton tarvel.

    When looking for the flights, one should start looking at the usual online websites like expedia etc. just in case they can find a good price. 99% of the time, this is not the case. Asian travel agents generally can offer a much cheaper deal, dont ask me the reason why.

    I can suggest southalltravel.co.uk - they have offered the best prices last 2-3 times I have been to Delhi, and now they have an online systems too. Best bet is give them a ring as well, they are 24*7. Then try searching for a few for travel agents.

    Another advise is try and choose a good carrier even if you have to pay ?50 more. You can then have some assurance if you are stuck somewhere.
  • Hey all, sorry to bring up an old post, but better than starting a new one!

    I'm looking for the cheapest ONE-WAY flight from any London aiport to Delhi, leaving between 13th-14th September 06.

    Cheapest I have found is £263.50 with Gulf Air.

    Can anyone do any better????

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Watch as you may require a visa for India, and also for Russia if you go with Aeroflot.

    Best regards
