Cheap Plane Tickets to India

Cheap Plane Tickets To India; can be had if you look

For cheap plane tickets to India from North America, your departure point should be in New York City. Chicago is the next cheapest. The only logical reason is that these places are extremely busy and the competition is greater there than in other places.

In most cases, the price increase that comes with departing from San Francisco or Atlanta does not warrant flying to New York City.

Booking a week in advance, the average ticket is close to $1200. If you book a month in advance then the ticket price drops to just below $1100.

If you book 2 months in advance the price drops even further to below $800. If you really are a planner, then 2 months and 3 months advance booking has no difference with the price of 3 months the same as 2 months.

At 6 months in advance purchases of the tickets, the lowest price can be below $700. But like all the above prices, there is a catch. These advertised prices do not include the taxes and fees. The taxes and fees on the 6 month advance ticket takes the price back up to just below $1000.

After 6 months the trend on the price per ticket starts to rise again. The old thought that the sooner you book, the cheaper the cost is not always true. Because of the fluctuation in fuel prices, most airlines are not willing to take the gamble on booking too far in advance with low fares.

Purchasing a stand by ticket is the only way to get a good deal, but these are becoming rarer as the economic woes of the airlines continue and the price of cheap plane tickets to India is becoming relative to what is really out there and available.
