I finalized and booked my flights to India this week.
I had been watching the prices of tickets from Saskatoon to both Mumbai and New Delhi every day for the past 6-8 weeks. I've always found booking flights to be stressful, especially when you are working with a very tight budget where every dollar counts.
I have seen the cheapest flights fluctuate from $1,350 to well over $2,000 during the past two months. Unfortunately, when the prices were at their lowest the summer had just started so I didn't have the money in the bank to purchase the tickets.
With the help of a little forecasting in prices, and a decent amount of money now in the bank, I was able to finally purchase my tickets towards the end of this week.
The final price for return airfare to Mumbai from Saskatoon, taxes and fees included, $1470.
My trip to India is being funded entirely by myself and the money I am able to save from my summer employment. I will be showing you all my saving schedule and budget later-on. Staying on track has been, and continues to be, a bit of a struggle to say the least but it's my only option.
I am fairly happy with the price I was able to book at. The prices shot up again the day after I booked so it looks like my timing was just right.
It seems I am one step closer to my 92 day adventure in India.

what are the dates of your flight? Are you leaving SK before winter hits?
I'll be leaving before winter hits! My flight takes off mid-September. But that also means I'll get back in the middle of winter when its getting the coldest.
