Lack of Demand Creating Low Prices for India Flights!

Anyone looking to buy a cheap flight to India has seen fares drop to levels that have not been seen in years!  With a lack of demand due to higher interest rates in Canada and significant changes to immigration levels flights this Winter are available for low prices!  2025 flights are not filling to levels that many carriers had hoped for, this is especially true for Air Canada and Lufthansa.  Both of these large carriers had assumed there would be a large amount of traffic from Canada encouraged these two airlines to start new routes from Canada to India and keep prices high, but now they have both significantly dropped prices for India flights!

One item that has impacted return flights from India to Canada this year is a large drop in the number of Indian citizens allowed to study in Canada.  The federal government’s decision to reduce the total number of students has also discouraged the total number of people looking to come to Canada to go to school.  This is proved by the fact that many schools in Canada are preparing for a reduction in staffing and Canada has dropped on the list of countries that were most favored for international students.  While this news isn’t great for students who want to come to Canada it is fantastic news for those who want a cheap flight to India.  The same passengers who are buying tickets from India to Canada are using the same seats that Canadians will use to come back home.

Another item in the news is Air India continues to receive new airplanes from their large order from Airbus last year.  Unfortunately, the seat manufacturer that Air India is using continues to face delays in their supply chain.  The delayed seats are slowing the roll-out of these brand-new aircraft, but the pace of their introduction on Air India’s routes will increase in 2025.  This will be great news, especially for those from Vancouver and Toronto who are looking forward to better service as soon as these airplanes are ready to be flown.

For customers looking for cheap India flights from Toronto these is a new option that is available this Winter.  Air Canada has partnered with the Italian national carrier to offer an option via Rome.  Fares on this route can be found this Winter for only $1399, which is a great price to get you to Delhi this Winter!  To purchase a flight on Air India’s direct flight on the same dates will cost $1999, which is a significant cost to pay for the convenience of a better schedule.  Overall prices from Toronto to Delhi are coming down which is great for your ability to secure a cheap India flight!

For passengers departing from Vancouver to India this Winter, the news is almost as good.  Air Canada has ramped up their competition and now with their partner carrier Lufthansa, you can find a cheap flight to India for only $1599.  If you want to purchase a ticket to India on Air India for the same dates you will be looking at a price of almost $2400 which is a massive difference for the direct flight option.  We are seeing a big jump in sales on Air Canada as they are now offering cheap India flights this Winter!

The news has been great for anyone looking to buy a cheap flight to India this Winter!  Normally we would expect December to be a slow time for Canada to India bookings, but this year is turning out to be different.  As many airlines tried their best to keep prices through the Fall, they are now having to drop airfares in order to get enough revenue.  As we are now finding ticket prices to India as low as they have been in years, now is the time to secure a cheap flight to India!
