Toronto to Delhi

BeenThere

Anybody have any recommendations for travelling from Toronto to Delhi, via Dubai if possible. Thinking about travelling end of November. Recommended airline/travel agency and what kind of fares to expect.

When is a good time to book for November? I think that is close to peak season. Don't want it to leave it too late.

I Hope this will help...
For an open jaw ticket Montreal-New York-Dubai-Delhi, Mumbai-Dubai-New York-Montreal, I paid $1375CAN (all taxes included)with Emirates.
For tickets, I buy in the Chinatown. You might also look in an Indian community newspaper, there is a lot of travel agency advertising in there.

I forgot, I travelled this March and came back at easter.

Sounds like a good deal. I have heard quotes for $1600CAN or thereabouts on Emirates. But, I think those are for picking up Emirates in London, with Toronto to London on Air Canada.

Check the free newspaper in the Indian stores. Prices vary with agents and be careful with some of them, you may get an introduction to India with a few of these guys. A decent agent is Gill Travels, price may be a few bucks more but worth the hassle in the end.

I went Toronto-Moscow-Delhi return for $1600 on Aeroflot at Xmas (i.e. highest season). Crummy duty-free (unless you like vodka), but otherwise OK. I've heard that the tickets are about $200 cheaper out of high season.

We flew Toronto-Delhi via Milan. There was only a 3.5 hour stopover on Alitalia. We paid $1400.00 and flew this past January. I flew for about the same price from Montreal to Mumbai in Oct via KLM.
