From italy to India?

Thanks for all the help you are a very knowledgeable bunch.

Anyone out there ever travelled from Italy to India? As far as I can see there's no bargains to be had - but then maybe I am just looking in the wrong place?

My sister just got a return from Rome to Bombay via Zurich on Swiss Air for 340 euros including tax.

Sounds like a bargain to me!

Ciao Smith6! I am planning a trip to India for the next August, and I will fly with Alitalia from Rome to Delhi via Milano, then from Delhi to Chennai and bach with Air Deccan, and Indian low cost airline.
Alitalia is not so cheap, however; the best quotation I got is 875 euros, with electronic ticket booked and issued through Internet. But in that period all the airlines are quite expensive.
I don't know where are you leaving from, where are you going and in which period; however I have studied a lot all the possibilities to travel from Italy to India, so I could help you if you give some more information to me.
Airlines going to India with good connections from Italy are:

- Alitalia (from Milan, to Mumbai and Delhi);
- Emirates (to Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kochi, Hyderabad)
- Air France (to Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai)
- KLM (to Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad)
- Qatar Airways (to Mumbai, Delhi, Trivandrum, Kochi, Hyderabad)
- Kuwait (to Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Kochi)
- Royal Jordan Airlines (to Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata)
- British Airways (to Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore)
- Lufthansa (to Mumbai, delhi, Chennai)

Other possibilities exist, but you have to change airline; for example, Air India flies from Paris, Jet Airways from London. You could reach these two towns with Ryanair or Easyjet and then take your flight to India, but be aware that with low cost airlines the connections are not guaranteed, and if your first flight is late and you loose the airplane to India, you will have no refund at all!

Let me know more, I will help you!

Ciao: Gianni

Hi Smith6,

I fly normally to India with Alitalia. From Valencia - Milan - Delhi or Bombay.
They have sometimes the cheapest price. Last Feb the cost of my ticket Valencia - Milan - Bombay and return was 670 Euros all included. Actually is almost impossible to get better rates.
