$982 - Flights to Mumbai India from New York

Air India is offering discounted flights to India for under $1000. Continental Airlines as well as a few others have also announced discounts, but Air India is consistently the cheapest over the next couple of months.

Some of these flights are direct, and some have a quick layover in Delhi.

For a flight to India, this is a nice alternative to having to endure two 10 hour legs.

I’ve always thought that India was too hot in the summer to visit, but after having checked some average weather stats, that appears to not be the case. Maybe in the South, it will be a little hotter, but Mumbai average weather isn’t too bad.

Between March and October, its the humid season in Mumbai, but the temperature will hover just under 90 degrees.

Mumbai is also supposed to have some of the best street food in the world, and as recently as a year or two ago, Anthony Bourdain said that visiting the slums isn’t too dangerous.

But you’ll have to find out for yourself.
