Agoda reveals India’s most affordable year-end flight routes for holiday travellers
The Christmas and New Year's holiday season is one of the most significant travel periods of the year. With schools on break and many workplaces offering extended holidays, travelers seize the opportunity to embark on journeys, whether to reunite with family, explore new destinations, or simply unwind and spend quality time with loved ones. This convergence of cultural celebrations and vacation time off makes it one of the busiest and most cherished travel periods of the year, and for many travelers, it’s more important than ever to find the best deals to maximize the holiday experience.
For those traveling domestically, India’s Guwahati–Agartala (INR 1,300) route ranked as the third most affordable in Asia, following Thailand’s Udon Thani-Bangkok (INR 536) in first place, and South Korea’s Jeju-Seoul and Malaysia’s Bario-Miri routes (INR 805) tying for second place. Completing the ranks for the most economical domestic flights across Asian countries during the end-of-year period were India (INR 1,300), Indonesia (INR 1,600), Vietnam (INR 2,000), Japan (INR 2,200), and Taiwan (INR 4,000). These insights highlight the most affordable intra-country routes across Asia, helping travelers identify options that allow them to celebrate the festive season without overspending.
For those traveling abroad from India, the Ahmedabad–Bangkok route, with fares starting at just INR 6,500, makes an excellent choice for those eager to experience Bangkok's vibrant holiday atmosphere, when the city comes alive with dazzling lights, festive markets, and cultural celebrations.
Across the region, Agoda’s data showed that the cheapest international flights in Asia were found in Malaysia and Indonesia, with fares such as Johor Bahru–Phuket and Pontianak–Kuching available at INR 2,200.
