Should I fly directly to India from America, or should I stop off on the way?

why don't you stop off in Iraq and walk around Baghdad

Till now there is no direct non-stop flight from America to India, you have a stopover either in European country or if flying from the other way around then somewhere in korea/japan

It is a personal choice. I find a stopover in Europe not helpful at all. It just wastes time and you really cannot get any rest. I like the direct flights, especially American Airlines' Chicago-Delhi route. It is comfortable, the food is OK. I get up every hour and walk for a minute or two to stretch out.

stops are nice unless you like sitting in an airplane seat for a long long time.

IT ALL DEPENDS WHO YOU FLIGHT WITH WHICH AIR LINE'S YOU SHOULD FLY WITH A GOOD AIR LINE'S WHICH HAS A GOOD SPOT FOR A STOP OVER LIKE DUBAI AND THE DUTY FREE THERE IS REALY BOSS.
HELL DON'T COME TO ENGLAND ITS COLD AND BITTER AND ITS FOGGED OUT HERE HARDLY ANY FLIGHTS GOING OUT OF HERE.

The Best Alternative If Travelling With Elderly People Or Children Is To Take A Stopover Flight, if you are travelling alone I would suggest to fly directly, I know Its A long flight, but its the journey that you have to get over with, a stop over means a longer journey to your final destination.

Yes you can fly Delta Airline. Mumbai-New York direct, non stop..14 hr 30 min.

You may have direct flight, but every flight should have atleast one stop on its way some where in Europe or Singapore. Some times you need to change a flight also. Contact some travel service or go by net.

direct

It depends, are u willing to du that or not. usually stopped flights are cheaper and and non stops are more expensive so it depends on what ur choice and situation is. i personally have been to india more than 4 times. so i'd say what u prefer and what u r willing to du.

If you don't care about saving money from the layovers, just fly direct.

Do whatever's cheaper.
But, if it's okay, fly direct; layovers can lead to so many problems, especially on such a long flight.

alex

if you want to save money stop if it is an over night (they pay for your room) other wise it isn't worth it the delay risk is to high and the flying hours are too long

Wow, lots of opportunity to see things there. I would assume you would change planes in a major city, so stop for a few days and see it. Just ask your travel agent for the cheapest way to do it, and stop wherever they tell you. that's a long trip to make, so you should make the best of it. safe travels to you!

Layovers age good on long trips. I like to grab a smoke and some food and walk around and stuff.

Stop off at London Heathrow. Go to Hounslow and have some bitchin' butter chicken yaar

Absolutely you should break up your trip. If you're flying westward, spend a few days in Hawaii, Tahiti, Hong Kong, Japan, whatever stopover city you air carrier stop at. If you're flying eastward, a few days in Europe is worth it. The culture shock of India can be so intense that being burned out from 24 hours of flying is a recipe for a very unpleasant start of your India travels. I didn't stop on my way back from India, and living in California, that means 24 hours of almost non-stop air travel. Never will do that again, it was the longest day of my life.

if you are going to india to see things then u might wanna stop to see more of the world

direct is always easiest, however a quick look and I cannot find any airlines that fly direct between India and the US (I did a search for LA since that's closest to India). So you'd likely have to stop and transfer atleast once prior to the US and also depending on where your final destination is, once in the US.

Infact, in the end of 2005, Continental Airlines was the first airline to offer nonstop service between the two countries, with a route from Newark NJ (NYC) to Delhi. So you'll likely have to stop.
