Peak season
Generally winter (October to March) is the most popular time to book cheap flights to India as the cooler season is more comfortable for sightseeing. Be aware that this does vary from region to region, however. Temps average around 4C to 19C, occasionally falling to 0 degrees and possibly lower; frosts are common in some parts of the country during this season so make sure you pack some warm clothing just in case. The peak months for travel to India are the lead up to Christmas, January, February and also March for the Holi festival. So to secure deals on flights to India you should make your reservations well in advance.
Off Season
The summer season (April to August) is very hot and dry in India, with temperatures usually around 25C but reaching up to 43C in some southern cities in May and June. Due to these scorching high temperatures, people generally avoid booking flights to India during this time. The monsoon season typically runs between July and September, with southern India receiving the most rainfall. If you don’t mind the heat and the rain then this is a good time to pick up cheap flights to India.
