Air Canada has a New Partnership with Fly Dubai!

With more and more people looking to buy a cheap flight to India earlier than ever before, we are already getting a significant number of bookings for fall and even for winter 2024.  Due to the lack of capacity, many people are deciding that if they don’t book early, they won’t get a cheap flight to India that they are so desperate for.

We are seeing a greater acceptance of the fact that last-minute seat sales may not come back for a few years as more and more people are buying their cheap tickets to India early which reduces the chance their airlines will need to provide last-minute India deals to fill their flights.

We have no idea what the future holds, as there could be more capacity added at any time, but with the increase in India bookings as compared to what we saw in 2019, it looks like this new pattern to buy your cheap flight to India will stay for the time being.

In positive news regarding flights to India, Air Canada has made a partnership with low-cost carrier Fly Dubai.  While most wouldn’t think this would have an impact on Canada to India flights, depending on how the deal works it could have a significant impact on your ability to get a cheap flight to India.  The partnership as it stands now should allow Air Canada Dubai flights from Toronto and Vancouver to connect via this Middle Eastern hub city directly into New Delhi and other cities in India.  Right now prices are on the high side for this new partnership, but hopefully, that will change as the partnership continues to grow.  Hopefully, this will allow you to secure a cheap flight to India this year with Air Canada and Fly Dubai.

Passengers flying from Toronto to India who are departing in the next few weeks have lots of options to find a cheap flight to India as the unbalanced traffic to India is allowing cheap India flights during the spring season, with prices jumping for the summer and fall.  With many customers wanting to buy a cheap India flight from Toronto to Delhi now, for the fall prices are good.  For those looking to purchase a ticket on a direct flight from Toronto to New Delhi, those prices are somewhat higher with the Air Canada direct flight costing about $2670 and the Air India direct flight about $300 less.  If you want to stick with the service of Air Canada but want the price of Air India you could fly on the direct Air Canada flight in one direct and then fly via Europe on your return.  A great way to save some money to secure a cheap flight to India.

Passengers departing from Vancouver are still taking the Air India direct flight in the majority of cases as we continue to have a lack of choice out West.  The Air Canada option via Dubai will hopefully provide some relief to Air India’s market dominance which will hopefully contribute to lower prices and cheap India flights.  Right now if you purchase a flight this fall on the Air India direct flight to Delhi, you are getting a better deal than if you flew from Toronto with flights available from $2279.  The best deal for the fall right now is to purchase a ticket on British Airways with prices as low as $2100, which is a great way to secure a cheap flight to India.

In summary with more customer buying their tickets for the fall early, it makes more sense to join them rather than hold out hope that you will still have a cheap ticket to India available for you a few months down the road.
