The cheapest time to fly is usually April-May and September, during the hot season and the end of the monsoon when visitors are fewer.
Fares peak in December-January, June-August and around Diwali (October-November), so February-March is a good-value pick for pleasant weather before the heat builds.
Book 3-6 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for December-January and Diwali. Prices generally rise closer to departure.
Why book early with Paylater Travel?
Beat price rises: Fares climb as departure nears.
Pay as you save: Split the cost to suit your pay cycle.
Stress less: Travel paid off, with no debt waiting at home.
