Budget airlines are dominating this year and Wowair just changed the game. Starting in December, you’ll be able to fly from the USA all the way to India (New Delhi specifically) for $299 each way. Then that price then drops to $199 each way in 2019. That’s just crazy cheap to pay for travel to the other side of the globe.

It might be time to consider a mid-winter trip to the balmy streets of India. The food will be amazing, we promise.
