What's the flight or flights that regularly connect an European Union country with India for less money? My research has showed that Air Arabia was a good option some years ago when connected Athens with a lot indian cities through Sharja, but now this route is no longer operated.

    From where in EU to where in India? Please clarify because it does make a difference. – Ankur Banerjee Jan 27 '12 at 11:22

    Also, it depends too much on when a person is traveling. You didn't say what season, what month, even what year. Regular flights don't have the same prices during the year and mostly depend on a date of travel, how many tickets was sold and whether you want a direct or connecting flight. Just FYI, I found a return flight a couple of days ago from Croatia to Delhi via Moscow for $560 (note it's dollars, not euros). This means that the prices from Western Europe can only be lower... – rlab Jan 27 '12 at 12:14

    I think that this question cannot be answered completely i.e. final answer cannot be given because the prices change almost on daily basis. – rlab Jan 27 '12 at 12:17
  • @AnkurBanerjee: Anywhere in EU to anywhere in India. It's easy: in Europe using low cost companies any country is 50 € away from any other country. When I visit India I'll go for a couple of months so I don't care to go to this or this other city, I'll visit all country. – Ivan Jan 27 '12 at 17:23
  • @rlesko: Yes, it depends, I'm looking for the cheapest regular flight on the year. I have availability all year to travel. Just need a good price :) – Ivan Jan 27 '12 at 17:25
  • @Ivan - and I'm telling you that you can't get the right answer. We can tell you the prices for next 6 to 8 months but it can happen that the prices for that exact same flight (on the same day, same time) drop in a month or two or more. as I said in one of my answers earlier, I bought a ticket for Delhi for $734 and that was a "tipping point" for that flight so the next available ticket was going for 600-something bucks. It really is either luck or meticulous research every couple of days. – rlab Jan 27 '12 at 17:51
  • Try Kayak's Buzz (best price results by other travelers) and then use Price alert on the left that will send you emails when prices drop! – rlab Jan 27 '12 at 17:52
  • @rlesko: Yes, you are right, but you know that sometimes there are airlines like Air Arabia which I mentioned in the question that have a regular price that "in general" (of course, not always) is cheaper than any other. This company has finished the flight I wanted to buy and my question (perhaps bad written, sorry) is "is there any other company like this?" – Ivan Jan 27 '12 at 18:20

I am not sure whether it is the cheapest, but Emirates currently has offers from many European cities to Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mumbai or Chennai for 550-600 Euros return. You have to change in Dubai.

You can fly from Madrid to Delhi on February 24th for 464 Euros.
