Hi,
Check out Bangladesh airlines. That's your best and cheapest way to fly out of India. We checked out flights from Delhi to Bangkok, can't remember price, but it was cheap.
HeyI was just wondering if anyone knew of a cheap way to fly out of india, eventually ending up in Kuala Lumpur (via Bangkok or Singapore if necessary)?Ive managed to get a cheap flight into Bangalore with jetstarasia, but they don't do flights out of the country for some reason!Thanks for the help

Also, when you get into South East Asia use an airline called Airasia...airasia.com.
We got a flight fromBangkok to Singapore for ?7.
Booking flights from whatever country your in at the time is the cheapest way of doing it!!

JetStar Asia does operate budget flights from Bangalore to Singapore - you might need to try several dates before you can find available seats.
They mention the route in their schedules, but I couldn't find Bangalore in their booking engine. & you're supposed to snail mail them comments on their website!!! Not likely

Well, in fact Jetstar ceased flights to Bangalore on january 8th !
Actually there seems to be only one lowcost airline offering flights between India and SE Asia (Air India Express from Chennai,MAA to Singapore,SIN)
I was in the same situation - well, i? still in it... - as i? planning to go to SE Asia completely on Low Cost Airlines from Europe and the only viable way is via India.

You can also fly to Manila or Cebu in the Philippines direct from Hong Kong with Cebu Pacific, or from Macau to Manila with Tiger Airways.

Thanks for your "good will" help, but...
That? not my intention!!! I do it for the sake of flying and experiencing new airlines!
My plans are as far as the moment:
1) Germany (any departure airport that fits my schedule) - Istanbul (SAW)
2) Istanbul (SAW) - Sharjah (SHJ) on Air Arabia
3) Sharjah (SHJ) - Chennai (MAA) on Air Arabia
4) Chennai (MAA) - Singapore (SIN) on Air India Express
5) Singapore (SIN ) - Manila (MNL) on Cebu Pacific
6) Manila (MNL) - Cebu (CEB) on Air Philippines
And returning to Germany will be:
1) Cebu (CEB) - Hong Kong (HKG) on Cebu Pacific
2) Hong Kong (HKG) - London Gatwick (LGW) on Hong Kong Oasis
3) London (LGW) -Cologne (CGN) on Easyjet
Well, maybe i choose BA from LGW via MAN to FRA or i go LCY-FRA dirct on BA - haven? yet decided but i`m likely to fly BA instead of U2 because i? expecting some "decent" amount of luggage on the return journey...) since BA actually offers quite reasonable one-way fares and from CGN i? have significant higher ground transportation expenses...

I've considered the route you're suggesting myself, but continuing on to Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. There are a few slightly more adventurous alternative routes from Europe to India which you may be interested in. For the time being Chennai - Singapore seems to be the only route between India and SE Asia, but I expect there will be a lot more by the end of the year.
Germany - Riga (Latvia) - Air Baltic (probably several other airlines fly this route too)
Riga - Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) - Air Baltic
Sharm El Sheikh - Kuwait - Jazeera Airways
Kuwait - Delhi/Mumbai/Kochi - Jazeera Airways
Or the more adventurous visa requiring:
Germany - Riga - Air Baltic or another
Riga - T'bilisi (Georgia) - Air baltic
T'bilisi (Georgia) - Yerevan (Armenia) - Overland (10 hours bus, 7 hours minibus)
Yerevan - Sharjah - Air Arabia
Sharjah - Chennai/Jaipur/Kochi/Madras/Nagpur/Thiruvananthapuram - Air Arabia. Or:
Sharjah - Kochi/Kozhikode/Thiruvananthapuram - Air India Express
Or:
Germany - Riga - Air Baltic or another
Riga - Tel Aviv (Israel) - Air Baltic
Tel Aviv - Amman (Jordan)- Overland, bus and taxi(awkward, but quite possible)
Amman - Sharjah - Air Arabia. Or:
Amman - Kuwait - Jazeera Airways

I'm not 100% sure but I think this route could cause you some trouble:
Germany - Riga - Air Baltic
Riga - Tel Aviv (Israel) - Air Baltic
Tel Aviv - Amman (Jordan)
Amman - Sharjah - Air Arabia.
You can avoid getting an Israeli stamp in your passport at Ben Gurion - I believe they'll stamp a piece of paper instead of a page in your passport if you ask them to - but you'll get a Jordanian stamp at the land border, which I thinkidentifies which border you crossed. I remember reading that some immigration officials in Arab countries are aware of this, and can cause problems - even though you don't have an Israeli stamp...
If the Air Arabia transit doesn't involve passing through immigration, you should be fine. If it does, it'd be touch and go...

Good point a seperate passport should be used for Israel to avoid problems in other Middle Eastern countries. I know the UK passport agency will give a second passport for this reason without any problems, unsure about other countries policies.

A separate passport's not really necessary - the Israeli immigration officials will stamp a sheet of paper and put it in your passport...
But in the case of crossing land borders, I'm not sure this/a separate passport is good idea (as opposed to getting a stamp on a piece of paper).
Here's why:
You might not be able to exit Jordan on a different passport to the one you came in on (they might want to check the duration of your stay). So then you'd be changing passport in mid air, and coming into Sharjah with no exit stamp in your passport. If the airport's busy, this would probably go unnoticed. If you do this the airport's quiet, and everyone else has just flown in from Jordan, the immigration officer might be curious... And if he/she is, it'll be much easier to notice the discrepancy in a pristine 2nd passport obtained specially for the purpose, than in a dog-eared stamp-filled one...

This isn't some scheme I've dreamed up, it's common practice to use the other passport on arrival. Dual nationals also commonly leave on one passport and enter on another, it isn't a problem, it's standard practice. Obviously you have to exit on the same passport you entered on. If you were really paranoid you could simply look up the flight number of a flight landing at a similar time from an EU country.

Obviously the second passport isn't obtained specially for the purpose of entering the Arab country, it's used to enter Israel. You enter countries opposed to Israel on the dog-eared stamp-filled one.

It's standard practice between countries with normal relations. I think anyone who's thinking about it should check with at least the airline & possibly the UAE embassy.
To give a (somewhat peripheral) example of what could happen, I read online recently that a US citizen whose passport happened to have been issued in Jerusalem was grilled by Malaysian immigration officials on suspicion of being an Israeli citizen. Israelis aren't allowed into Malaysia, and Malaysian law doesn't recognise dual citizenship... (Very confusing that - how do they decide which citizenship they'll recognise???)

Okay, we're starting to stray a long way off topic here.
Can we get back to international low fare flights to and from India?
Or else I'm going to have to lock this thread.
Thanks.
