⚠️ WHY INDIA → SEA FLIGHTS ARE EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW
The high cost of flights from India to Thailand, Vietnam, and other Southeast Asian destinations is driven by a supply-demand squeeze: 1. Bilateral Seat Caps: Capacity is strictly capped by government bilateral air service agreements. Indian and Southeast Asian carriers have exhausted their allowed seat quotas, meaning they cannot add new flights to meet the demand. 2. Engine Groundings: Pratt & Whitney engine recall issues have grounded dozens of planes for Indian budget carriers (like IndiGo), reducing the total number of available seats. 3. Massive Demand: Travel to Southeast Asia has surged as a preferred alternative to West Asia or Europe, creating a major seller's market.
Flight Analysis Summary
October is a transition month. The monsoons are receding in Thailand but remain wet in Central Vietnam. Great fares can be found as tourists wait for the dry winter.
Budget Carriers & Baggage Rules:
Strict 7kg hand baggage rule (1 cabin bag + 1 small laptop bag combined). Checking in bags at the counter costs 2x what it does online. Add baggage during checkout.
Main carrier to HCMC. Cabin bags are occasionally weighed at the gate in Indian airports. Highly recommend pre-booking 20kg check-in weight if you carry liquids/toiletries.
Standard Indian budget flyer. Often has direct flights from CCU and DEL. Direct flights are less prone to delays, saving luggage transfer issues.
