Visit the Taj Mahal without spending all your cash on the way
Many people dream of going to India at least once before they die, but some people assume they could never afford the flight. The good news is that getting discount flights to India is easier than you might think. Depending on where you are coming from you’ll probably have to stop at least once on the way because it’s on the other side of the world from Mexico, but airfares there can still be surprisingly cheap.
You can also fly on one of the new Middle Eastern airlines that will stop in the UAE or Kuwait. They’ll often have the best fares from Europe, so consider searching the airlines that connect through that region.
The two cheapest Indian cities to fly into are Mumbai, which used to be called Bombay, and Delhi, which is sometimes called New Delhi by people who don’t realize New Delhi is just one district in Delhi. Air India has good deals and they are reliable too, which is a bit of a contrast to nearly everything else you’ll find when you do land in the country. Most people want to see the Taj Mahal, and that’s actually in the horrible little city of Agra, which is not far south of Delhi. Fly into Delhi and then just go to Agra by train because you don’t want to spend any more time there than you have to.
