Via View From the Wing, you can fly from New York (JFK) or Chicago to India and lots of cities in Asia, including Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, and more, for under $400 round-trip in coach!
The sale fares are for flights on China Eastern Airlines. And are valid for travel October 11, 2017, through December 9, 2017, and January 2018 through April 2018.
For example, I found a flight from New York (JFK) to Delhi, India, for ~$374, departing November 22, 2017, and returning November 29, 2017.
Here are the details. And how to search for deals from your city!
How to Book It
Link: ITA Matrix
Link: Google Flights
Link: Momondo
Link: View From the Wing
You can check View From the Wing for how to book. And you can also see my posts for how to use the ITA Matrix or Google Flights to find sale dates, or use Momondo to search.
Then book directly on the 3rd-party site Vayama.com. Because the prices appear higher on China Eastern Airlines’ site.
Just note, Vayama does NOT offer free cancellation within 24 hours, like other 3rd-party sites do. So be sure of your plans before making a reservation!
Hotel Information
If you book a sale flight, remember there are lots of ways to get cheap or free hotel rooms with points from credit card bonuses and spending.
Check out my favorite Marriott, Hyatt, IHG, and Starwood hotels in Asia and India!
To find hotels that can be booked with points, I use Hotel Hustle (which even shows you if rooms are actually available!) or AwardMapper.
Remember, you can transfer flexible points like Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards to different hotel programs.
Note: If you prefer to book paid stays, check out discount sites like Orbitz, Expedia, or TravelPony for deals. But remember you won’t get stay credits or points (and might not have your elite status recognized!). Airbnb is another terrific way to save money on accommodations, especially for longer stays. Here are some tips on how to negotiate a better Airbnb price, and how to find a safe and comfortable Airbnb.Bottom Line
