AIR TRAVEL TO INDIA
India is well served by many international carriers, including British Airways, Emirates, Air France, Lufthansa, Etihad, Cathay Pacific (Dragon Air), Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and Air India, among others.
Flights from the US to India on Emirates or Etihad, via Dubai or Abu Dhabi, respectively, are usually quite comfortable.
There are direct flights from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to Bangalore, as well as to Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai in India.
Flying into or out of Bangalore is easiest (vs. making a domestic connection).
AIR TRAVEL AROUND INDIA
India has good and frequent flights between all major local cities. We would suggest flights on Jet Airways, or Air Indigo, and Air India.
