Although I'm not Indian, I am planning to marry someone who is soon, so I guess that counts for half... :-) I am planning to go to India this June, (for the second time, and in line with the above objective), and was wondering if any of the people out there have found any 'really good' deals on travel to and from India. Also, any particularly interesting routes. I'm planning to visit Bombay (never been there before), Dehli, and Varanasi. Last time I went, I flew Air India from Kennedy to Dehli and back. Is this the best deal? The dollor has gone up 20% since I went last time relative to the Rupee, has there been any reduction in fares? For reference, I paid about $1000 last time for a round trip.

The Air France flights are via Paris and you could break your journey there , The PANAM flights are via Hamburg ( I believe ) . Air India also flies via London . Rest to your taste .....
