How exitfare compares cheap fares to India

A low price is useful only if you know what it buys. exitfare’s comparison starts with the long-haul flight to your intended Indian city and looks for longer tickets using that same flight. This guide explains the method, the limits of a saved quote and the information to ask for before making a booking request.

How the fare comparison works

1. 01
   Collect a conventional nonstop reference

   For a configured route and travel date, we collect Google Flights quotes for nonstop flights. This supplies the price of a ticket ending at your intended destination, along with the first-flight details used for matching.

2. 02
   Look at configured longer itineraries

   We compare public Skyscanner listings for connecting tickets through that city. For example, our London–Delhi comparison searches London–Lucknow itineraries via Delhi. We use selected routes and dates; this is not a search of every published fare worldwide.

3. 03
   Match the exact first flight

   The comparison requires matching the flight number, airline, date, departure and arrival airports, and currency. The whole connecting itinerary must fit the configured routing. A cheaper flight on another day or to another airport is not treated as the same option.

4. 04
   Calculate the displayed comparison price

   Our pricing calculation applies a service margin to the sourced whole-ticket fare. Where an equivalent Google quote is stored, the displayed calculation is capped at that saved reference. This describes the stored comparison, not a promise to beat every current airline or agency price.

5. 05
   Check the request before issuance

   Choose the flight you want to discuss and submit a booking request. Ask for the complete ticketed itinerary, current total, baggage handling and fare conditions before payment. Price matching alone cannot establish whether ending at the connection is suitable for your trip.

Which routes the comparison covers

The configured collection includes Heathrow to Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, plus Amsterdam, Vienna, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt to Delhi. Route configuration shows what the collector can compare; it is not evidence that every route has a saving or available inventory today. Search results depend on the dates and quotes currently stored.

• Compare Amsterdam–Delhi flight options
• Compare Frankfurt–Delhi flight options

What the Google Flights comparison does and does not mean

Google Flights can show nonstop and connecting journeys. We use its nonstop results as a reference for the flight to your intended destination; we do not claim that Google only lists direct flights. Google also notes that its results may not include every offer available from travel partners.

Quotes are snapshots. Inventory, exchange rates and inclusions can change between collection and booking. A stored Google reference can differ from the fare you find later. Recheck the same flight, travel date, passenger count and final payable totals before deciding that a saving still exists.

What to ask our team before booking

• What is the complete itinerary, including the final destination printed on the ticket?
• What is the current total for all travellers, including charges and required baggage?
• Where will bags be tagged and collected, and what happens if cabin luggage is gate-checked?
• What do the airline’s conditions say about unused segments, changes and later flights?
• If the airline changes the routing, does the revised itinerary still suit my trip?

Your booking is confirmed only after your airline PNR and e-ticket have been issued.
