August Means The Peak India Booking Season Has Arrived!

With the long weekend behind us, Canada to India flights will quickly be filling up as demand rises for the fall and winter.  The peak booking season for India is now here.  As summer is coming to an end, this is the time of year when most people will be booking their India flights.  In past years, August has now become one of the times for many Indian tickets purchased because there is usually an opportunity to secure cheap India flights due to the large number of seat sales.   The peak travel season for Diwali is in October, and the airlines are quickly running out of time to fill their seats.

All airlines like to keep prices high for as long as they can, but if they wait too long to lower prices, they risk flying planes with many empty seats, which is the worst-case scenario for their attempt at high revenues.  This is the reason that we tend to see price drops in August, which means it is a great time for you to get a cheap flight to India!

The lower prices were seen in the last few weeks as Air India specifically opened lower booking classes in the fall and winter, as customers were unwilling to pay over $3000 in economy seats.  As prices have dropped, sales have increased, but there are those still waiting to see if prices drop further.  Based on last year, it may be a risk as Air India is flying the 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which does not have a large number of seats, so the demand could be enough at these prices to fill the planes.  Only Air India knows what steps they may take in the future, but if looking at recent history, now may be the time to lock in a cheap flight to India.

Right now, if you want to purchase a cheap India ticket from Toronto, British Airways has drastically lowered the price on its India tickets.  You can purchase a ticket for only $1185 from Toronto to Delhi.  While this airfare does not include any bags, with prices at these levels, it could make sense to buy bags as an additional cost.  Air India’s direct flight option from Toronto is also a great option, as you can buy their direct flight service for only $1545!

For flights from Vancouver to Delhi, United with Air Canada is giving you the best price.  While this option does stop twice on the way to India, it is available for only $1299!  The route may not be convenient, but at these prices, it could make sense if you want to buy a cheap flight to India.  With Air India always being the most popular option from Vancouver, they also have great prices with tickets starting from $1780.

As the India flight booking season ramps up this month, if you are planning to go to India this year, now is the time to start asking questions.  Demand continues to rise, which will impact the price you pay, so be ready to book a cheap flight to India!
