Getting there and away; southeast Asia just a hop, skip and jump away

Flights to and from southeast Asia

Getting to India from South-east Asia has never been to much of a challenge and nowadays it is even less so. The overland trip through South-east Asia have been hugely popular with travellers since the 1970’s, and will more then often begin or end in India. The number of international holidaymakers, to both South-east Asia and the Indian subcontinent, has risen steadily for many years, and the regions are now among the most popular destinations in the world for holidaymakers and travellers alike. Over the last decade or so there has also been a big increase in the number of middle-class Indian Holiday makers going to South-east Asia, with Thailand being by far the most favourite destination.

All this considered it comes as no surprise that the number of flights to India from the Southeast Asian nations, and vice versa, is huge, and you will have no problems what so ever in finding a suitable flight to India from almost anywhere in South-east Asia. The major travel hubs in the region are Singapore, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Penang) and of Course Thailand. Cheap flights to Thailand (Bangkok) are the most numerous and frequent. With several flights daily you will have no problems finding a good deal.

From Bangkok you will find direct flights to almost all major Indian airports, cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad are served by many of the big Indian, Asian and international carriers. From Mumbai you will also find direct flights to the ‘holidaymaker heaven’ island of Phuket, and rumour has it that flights from New Delhi and Kolkata are in the pipeline and about to start soon. 

Currently there are no direct flights from Thailand or anywhere else in Southeast Asia to Goa, but you will not struggle to find a connecting flight between the major Indian airports and Goa’s Dabolim international airport. Flights are frequent and reasonably priced.
