A Big Jump in Canada to India Flight Bookings!

Are you looking to buy a cheap India flightThere has been another big jump in bookings in the past 7 days!  Customers waiting to find a low-priced flight from Canada to India have decided that even at elevated prices they are buying their tickets now.  Some customers looking to buy the most convenient option on Air India, are spending close to $3000 for flights this Winter when they were available for as low as $1800 this Summer.  As space has filled up Air India specifically has decided to keep prices high to increase their revenue and customers have decided to pay these higher prices. 

In addition to Air India, KLM and Air France continue to take the majority of the leftovers from Air India as their price point is much better than Air Canada, Lufthansa, and British Airways, their primary competitors. Air France and KLM have found the sweet spot that allows customers to find a cheap India flight while also securing a significant amount of revenue for their companies.

The big surprise for this year’s India flight market is the lack of competitiveness from the Air Canada & Lufthansa group who have added significant capacity from Canada to India.  Air Canada’s flights from Vancouver & Calgary via London continue to be a higher-priced option to Delhi with the first flights starting in only a few days.  In addition, Air Canada’s reluctance to remove the restriction on a 2nd free checked bag is impacting their ability to compete in this lucrative market.

For example, if you depart this fall on Air Canada from Vancouver to Delhi you will find a price of $3100 on their flight via Montreal and returning via London.  The primary competitor on this route is Air India and they are offering their direct flight option for only $3000.  The fact that Air India is offering a more convenient direct flight from Vancouver to Delhi at a lower price and including two free checked bags prevents Air Canada from securing their fair share of the Canada to India flight market.

For passengers departing from Vancouver to India, we are finding lower prices on Turkish Airlines for the first time since they started flying to Vancouver.  With the security situation in the Middle East high on people’s minds, Turkish Airways is looking to the Indian market to help fill their flights.  Prices from Vancouver to Delhi via Istanbul are available for only $1670 this Winter!  The most popular flight option from Vancouver is always Air India and there you will be paying almost $2300 to get on their direct flight!

With plenty of options to secure a cheap flight to India this Winter now is the time to book before prices start rising again.  The disappointment that Air Canada continues to price most customers out of the market means that you will have to find a different route to get to India this year with Air India proving to be the most popular way to get from Canada to India this year!
