    Hi everyone,
    My husband I are are looking into where we can find a cheap flight to India so we can go visit his family from Boston, MA in U.S. to Hyderabad. We are having difficulties finding cheap flight from June-July. I was wondering if there are certain months that are cheaper than others for travel and where we can find sites for cheap flights.
    Thank you for any help given-we really appreciate it.

    June - September are peak months. With summer vacation starting in the USA, many airlines charge a premium for the travel. We travelled in oct-nov and jan-feb timeframe. THe tickets were nominal. Can't help ou with a site since I use travel agent or book in the airlines site itself.

    I have seen Etihad offering cheaper flights and their service also is good.

    My DH is very good at finding cheaper flight rates. He always use following websites:
    Cheaptickets, vayama, cheapoair, priceline, travelocity.co.in, cfares or you can use direct flight websites like Air India, American Airlines, British Airways, Ethihad Airways, Emirates, jet airways, KLM.

    Avoid the US summer holiday season and the Christmas Holidays season.
    Also, on travel websites the ticket prices are usually lower mid-week (around Tuesday nights) then the prices go up as the weekend approaches. Use Kayak.com, it lists all competitive fares.

    yes, avoid travel during the Summer break here. December is also a peak season to travel to India.

    Have you looked at Kayak. Its a pretty good site and pulls the deals from most of the online travel websites.

    last year i travelled during august - sep timeframe.
    i used the flights - United and Jet. It worked out cheaper instead of using the same flight carrier throughout..

    United Airlines - Washington DC - Dubai
    Jet Airways - Dubai - Chennai.
