• Travel from USA: The fares depend on when you leave. Most fares do NOT require a minimum length of stay in India anymore. It is easy to get your desired travel dates if you do your planning before August 31. After that date, it begins to get harder to find the exact dates you want.

  Before Sometime in the Second Week of Dec and After Dec 24: Most fares for Chicago-Bombay-Chicago (or Chicago-Delhi-Chicago) range from $950 to $1350 depending on when you leave and on which airline. Dec 14-Dec 24: This is high season; expect to pay $200-300 more. Before Thanksgiving: Lowest fares.

• Travel from CANADA: The fares are comparable to those from USA.

• Travel from EUROPE: Fares are cheaper if you go through travel agents that do volume business in travel to India.
