India & China Announce Direct Fights!
For those who are looking for news on Canada to India flights, you have come to the right place! Here we try our best to keep you updated on all of the news impacting your ability to get a cheap India flight from Canada to India! We focus on our major markets in Vancouver and Toronto to New Delhi, but all of the news we find will impact the price you will find when searching for the cheapest flight from anywhere in Canada to anywhere in India!
The big news this week that will eventually impact Canada-to-India travel is that the Indian and Chinese governments have finally agreed to allow direct flights between the two countries. Back in 2019 the major Chinese airlines of China Eastern, China Southern and Air China always offered the lowest prices from Vancouver to Delhi. Now there is a chance those days might return. While it may be a while still before any flights are announced we are hoping by this Spring we will see these options again. The flights from China to India are a great sign, but the Chinese carriers have yet to ramp up their flight to Canada as well. We need both of these items to occur in order for you to find cheap India flights via China again.
In other news, Air India has announced a major expansion for 2025. India’s national carrier will be adding flights to Kenya, Seoul, Austria and Zurich. All of this additional capacity to cities from around the world will allow for more people to travel to India. From a Canadian perspective, the flights via Europe should reduce demand on Lufthansa and Swiss Air which will mean more available seats from Canada to India.
If you are looking to fly from Toronto to Delhi and want to secure a cheap flight to India you can find prices on Swiss Air for only $1480! This amazing price is a code shared with Air India and Air Canada, but Swiss Air allows you to book with them for extremely low airfare. If you are looking for a direct flight Air India is a great option in the late Winter with prices starting from only $2029! Air India also offers two free checked bags which is always a great addition. There are lots of cheap India flights still available from Toronto if you book now!
Customers who are departing from Vancouver have a cheap India flight option with Qatar Airways via Seattle for only $1399 which is an amazingly low price. While there are two stops in each direction the fare is one the lowest, we have seen this year. The two stops can save you a large amount of money as compared to Air India’s convenient direct flight. Air India’s direct flight will set you back $2399 which is $1000 more than Qatar Airways. In this instance, it makes more sense to take your time to get to India rather than spending more on Air India.
The news is great this week if you want to buy a cheap flight to India. The announcement that India and China should soon have direct flights will reduce prices substantially. It may take until later this year before flights ramp up, but we are very hopeful that this will allow you to book a cheap flight to India!
