Is it just flights you can get discounts on?
No, it's possible to find deals on almost every aspect of your holiday - the difficulty is in lining them all up.

Of course, if you go direct to the source you may find other deals through hotel chains or big car rental companies.

There's no set date or season for airlines to offer discounts which is why it's always best to check for deals before you book. As a rule of thumb, flights are generally cheaper after the Diwali rush and again after the end of summer.
If there aren't any coupons available, there are tricks to finding the cheapest Indian flights including when you book, being flexible with your dates and visiting underrated gems.
