The Best Way to Get Cheap Flights to Mumbai

I have been cracking my head on how to get cheap flights to Mumbai for a while now having gotten cheap flights to Dubai. You see, I have been a fan of Indian movies for as long as I can recall. I guess that means right from when I was a little kid. I watched all the popular ones and knew all the characters by name. I guess I can say that my interest in the Indian film industry has a lot to do with that early exposure to them. The larger issue is my interest in the ancient city of Mumbai. It used to be known as Bombay but today, Mumbai is the popular name although many things in the city still revolve around the old name. For example, the globally renowned movie industry has its own Hollywood equivalent right there in Mumbai and it is known as...Bollywood. This has become a source of attraction to many tourists who are probably as crazy about Indian movies as I am.

I recommend that you plan your cheap holidays trip well in advance. The fact is that flying to Mumbai should not be a spur of the moment issue. Remember that you are trying to get what can be considered to be cheap flights to Mumbai. Incidentally, Mumbai is also home to one of India's major international gateways as well as its busiest airport, the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. This airport has two terminals; one for domestic air operations and another for international air operations. There are two sub terminals within the domestic terminal, one serving Air India and Kingfisher Airlines while the private airlines make use of the other part of the terminal. These private airlines include SpiceJet, Jet Airways etc which have cheap flights. The international terminal is used by Air India and its partners as well as other international carriers which are your best bet for a cheap flight to Europe.

If you wish to compare flight prices one determinant of the fares will be the point of origin of the flight. If you are taking off from a location close to India, you will get cheapest airfare. For example, Air Arabia which is UAE's low fare airline flies from Sharjah in the UAE to Mumbai amongst other Indian cities, providing some of the cheapest flights. Air India Express also offers low cost fares links Mumbai and many other Indian cities to other cities in Asia while offering really great rates so you can compare cheap flights. Singapore's low fare airline, GoAir also offers really friendly rates while linking 13 Indian cities including Mumbai. Other airlines that fly in and from Mumbai while at the same time providing budget friendly airfares include the following; IndiGo, Jazeera Airways, Jetlite, Kingfisher, Sama (Saudi Arabian low cost airline) and SpiceJet. It is important to take note of these airlines of you really want to get a pocket friendly rate and compare holidays.

Really Want Cheap Flights Dubai? Key Points to Use

Home to the globally renowned and modern marvel, the Burj Al- Arab, Dubai boasts what can be described as an 'everything is possible' attitude. In Dubai, dreams come true and time and again, this formerly virtually unknown desert emirate has confounded the 'developed' world with the daring spirit with which it takes on and manifests dreams. Masterpieces have been created time and again in Dubai and they are not even done yet. Do you need any other invitation to visit this country? I believe not and the next thing for you is to find cheap flights Dubai. The question is; how do you go about it? Are cheap flights to Dubai a reality just like a cheap flight to Europe?

It is not impossible to get cheap flight Dubai. There are quite a number of airlines that are making regular trips into the country while offering cheap flights as you embark on your cheap holidays. I have to first let you know that there are times of the year when Dubai is 'hot' to visit, giving you the chance to compare holidays after all the fun. In case you are not aware, Dubai is host to the most popular shopping festival in the world, The Dubai Shopping Festival which is also known as 'Layali Dubai' that takes place at the beginning of the year and lasts for about a month. The visitor traffic is simply unbelievable, over 3.3 million in 2005. Unfortunately, this situation also presents a downside because it means fares will hit a high within that period. I advise you to compare flight prices to book your seat very much in advance to beat the rush (there will always be one thanks to unchanging human behavior). There are quite a number of airlines flying into Dubai from Europe and they include Lufthansa, Air France and Austrian Airlines and this makes it easier for you to compare cheap flights.

The Dubai International Airport is actually the largest hub for air travel in the entire Middle Eastern region. If you also planning to visit Dubai any time soon, you also have to conduct careful research to ascertain which airline is offering the cheapest airfare in terms of the pocket friendliness. The sheer number of airlines flying into Dubai engenders competition and your patience and diligence is bound to pay off with the cheapest flights. Plans are afoot in the audacious project, The Dubai World Central International Airport which will be the fourth largest in the world and projected to handle about 70 million passengers. This means that there will be more flights options. However for now, apart from the official carrier, Emirates, you also have the option of its low-cost partner, FlyDubai. You are thus assured of price consideration when visiting this exotic place.

You can also try visit at the time of the year when there fewer tourist though is not the easiest of things to do as Dubai was built on the concept of having activities all year round. You can see the world's most expensive horse race and participate in endless sporting events throughout the year.
