Hotfoot it to India

Mainland India is bounded by the Indian Ocean in the south, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Bay of Bengal to the east. It also shares borders with Pakistan, Bhutan, China, Nepal, Bangladesh and Burma.

With many Indian people now living overseas as well as tourists eager to visit this mystical land, and business travellers, there is a huge demand for flights to India. As a result there are plenty of scheduled flights every day from UK airports to major Indian destinations such as New Delhi and Mumbai.

Flight time from London to Mumbai is just under nine hours and the time difference is five and a half hours ahead of GMT. Air India is of course the obvious choice of airline for flights to India and indeed offers a service to every international airport in India. Flights start at around £300 each way for economy flights in November and include all airport taxes.

British Airways also flies to Indian destinations. Flight prices start at £214 each way also in November and also include all taxes. You may find a cheaper deal by consulting a price comparison website or a checking last minute availability.
