Booking my next Incredible India trip

Tweet

Apologies that I've rather been missing in action the last few hours whilst I tried to get my head around booking our holiday for later in the year. Actually, when I say later, it's about another 285 days (give or take a few) so MUCH later in the year. We are off to India again. We go almost every year and I always book early but this year I've booked super-crazy-early. My husband has been allocated holiday at just about the most expensive time of the year to travel to India - a week before and a week after Diwali. Last year we went 4 weeks earlier and it was a breeze to get good deals but this year I can see that the only way the prices can be going is up. So I've grabbed and booked. I had been researching the international flights for several weeks before cracking and spending more than I wanted to for flights with Virgin Atlantic. They were at least £100 less than any other direct flights per person and I could see I wasn't going to do much better unless I went via somewhere really stupid. Internal flights were easier - so I've grabbed three with Jet Airways and one with Air India. Luckily the AI is the final internal flight and has a much better luggage allowance than Jet which could come in handy IF the urge to shop should hit us in the second week of our trip. It's a lot to pay out upfront so far in advance but in the long run, I'm pretty sure I've done the best I could. So now it's time for me to catch up on that long list of notifications that popped up whilst I was having fun with my bookings.
