Traveling is one of those things virtually everybody would love to do, even though high price ticket costs usually can keep your travel plans from ever leaving see any heights. One popular destination for travelers is India. This is a beautiful country with wealthy culture and with an impressive landscape.
When you go here some of the most widespread and popular airports to fly into are Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi. Which one you choose depends partly on where you would like to go, partly on where you can get the cheapest tickets.
The departure city flights to India typically range from quite cheap up to about five hundred dollars. Climate is also of concern when you are booking a flight to India. There are essentially four seasons with winter being about the same as in west, the weather is cool and dry. March through May is the summer months and temperatures in might sometimes be unbearable. Overall, the simplest time to fly to Mumbai and Delhi would be mid-September through spring. The most affordable time to fly to India is throughout the Monsoon season, June through September, thanks to serious rain. Keep in mind that Monsoons will often offset plane schedules and sometimes fully shut off electricity.
Looking for good flight deals on the web or booking through airline websites directly are both fast and efficient ways that to seek out flights, though not perpetually the cheapest. Some nice websites to check for deals include Kayak and Orbitz. Though it is a chance, some times waiting till the last minute (some weeks or so before the departure date) will extremely pay off as airlines are providing lower prices to fill the seats on upcoming flights.
If you’re a student there are also lots of internet sites dedicated to finding low cost student air fares. A terribly well-liked web site for students is S.T.A. Travel. Here you can find out is they currently run monthly deals to multiple destination cities and the travel agents can work closely with you to seek out the best deal for you out there.
Some airlines like Korean and Cathay Pacific run deals on some flights to India, but usually the discounted fares they offer don’t seem to be given to the customer directly. Travel agencies often purchase seats in bulk at a discounted price and pass the savings on to you. Therefore it would be wise to appear into a Indian travel agency in your area. This might be a sure way to search out regarding any current flight deals.
Again, depending on your departure city, date and your relationship with flying, it might be a good idea to stay on an open mind to multiple flight connections. In a perfect world it would be the best to steer onto one plane and a matter of hours later walk off at your destination….then once more, in an ideal world, everyone would fly in their private jet.
If you’re someone who can tolerate multiple take offs and landings while not running the risk of air sickness, allowing multiple connections it may be a sure method to knock some hundred dollars off your price tag price. Also, if you allow some flexibility along with your travels dates your search results can also yield greater savings.

Useful Tips When Traveling by Air to India
March 1st, 2010India in Style – A Quick Guide to the Best Shopping and Luxury Hotels in India
January 13th, 2010
India: it’s the place of the majestic Taj Mahal; the most wondrous gift a man has ever given the object of his love. It’s where camels lurch across deserts of stones past whitewashed schools, and young girls carrying pots of water for great distances on their heads – a battered yet beautiful country, where the impact of all it has to offer will leave you forever altered.
This mystic land is rapidly developing into an ideal tourist destination, where cultural and architectural wonders mingle seamlessly with top-class luxury hotels full of modern comforts, and chic shopping destinations.
Luxury Hotels in India
There’s no escaping the fact that India is right up there with the world’s finest luxury travel destination. Pick up any top international magazine, and you’ll see that India gets more entries for luxury hotels and spas in annual compilations of ‘The World’s Best’ lists.
Oberoi Udaivilas: counted amongst the world’s finest luxury hotels for some years now, it sensationally adorns the shores of Lake Pichola with to-die-for views. The Kohinoor Suite, a 2650sqft mini-palace, comes with fountained courtyards, an immense private pool and breathtaking views over the City Palace and the Aravali Hills.
Wildflower Hall: if there were ever India’s answer to a fairytale European castle, this is it. Lord Kitchener’s erstwhile residence, tranquilly teetering atop pine and cedar slopes, has been splendidly restored in grand colonial style. Wood panelling and original artwork impart old world aura. Expect rooms with teak floors, quaint furnishings and staggering views.
Shopping in India
During your stay, be sure to make your way to New Delhi for some fabulous shopping opportunities in India’s fashion capital. The latest collection of Indian designers can be found at the Crescent at the Qutab, on Delhi’s southern edge:
Namrata Joshipura G-9, Ground Floor, The Crescent at the Qutab: Fashion editors from around the world snap up slim-fitting dresses with suggestively plunging necklines stitched in gold thread and for day, prim shirtdresses with fitted waistbands and Peter Pan collars in ladylike linen.

Best Place to Honeymoon – A Travel Agent’s Advice
December 1st, 2009
The best to place to honeymoon should provide a couple the chance to grow together; it should be a challenge that will help them learn to trust and rely upon each other. As a travel agent, I’ve seen far too many newlyweds spend over ten grand to support a week long trip to a remote island where they can hopefully spend a few days of peace and quiet before returning home to their new life.
So what do I recommend for couples looking for the ideal honeymoon location? Well, my wife and I did things a little differently…
Rather than break the bank on a trip to Bora Bora, we decided to take the long way home: a year long trip through Southeast Asia, India, Nepal and China. Our average monthly budget was fifteen hundred dollars, and in all honesty, we could have gone for less than that. During that year we hiked in the Himalaya, laid out on pristine beaches, sailed down the Mekong River, and generally partied like rock stars.
OK, so maybe you don’t have a year. If I were forced to choose one country as the best place for a honeymoon, it would be Thailand. The combination of culture, cuisine, hiking, climbing and water sports are among the best in the world, and for many newlyweds (who’ve broken the bank on the wedding) Thailand provides great value for your money. A couple who are budget sensitive can expect to see this beautiful country for thirty to forty dollars a day, provided they travel slow and don’t drink too much (for some reason a beer costs the same amount around the world).
If there is one piece of advice I can offer you, both as a travel agent and a married man, it’s that you should take your time when traveling on your honeymoon. Try your best to take as much time as you can, as your travel costs tend to decrease the longer you travel. The best place to honeymoon is the one where you and your loved one can grow together, not apart.
