The prices for first class flights have risen massively in the last few weeks, so this offer from Lufthansa and Swiss from Budapest for flights to India still seems pretty good in comparison. With availability from July to April 2023, you can reach Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru for €2,642.
If you do not want to take the booked flights as planned, you can rebook without having to pay a rebooking fee. The route can also be changed, but you always have to pay the difference between the old and new fare.
You currently require a negative PCR test to enter India. Entry regulations could still change, however, until your flight actually takes place – for better or for worse.
To book the flights, you can simply use our search form. After one click, you will be forwarded directly to the booking on Swiss’ or Lufthansa’s website – both are practically the same. There’s availability from July through April.
Lufthansa uses Boeing 747 aircraft on long-haul routes, while Swiss relies on Airbus A340/330 aircraft.
