India is one of my favorite places on earth. There is nothing like it. A country so vast and culturally variegated that it could be six countries crunched together. I was there a year and a half ago and had one of the best travel experiences of my life. But it cost a pretty penny to get there. I think tickets at the time I booked were like $2000 per person roundtrip. And that included a stop in Germany. Well, I just found out that American is offering roundtrip fares from various airports in the US to India for arou8nd $1000. That’s a pretty fine deal. And more, once you’re there to get from, say, Delhi to Mumbai is a haul, fly American teamed up too with Air Sahara to provide direct flights to 23 cities throughout India. So, add this to your list of “maybes” for your next big trip.
