I have wanted to go to Goa, but because of being on a low budget it has prevented me to make any plans to go. To start planning for my Goa holiday I need to know what the flight cost is so that I can get some idea of the whole holiday cost. I would like to know what the estimate flight fare from Delhi to Goa is? Please mention the flight fares for both the peak and off-peak season.
Hello, @Jade, welcome to the forum! (Images from Wikimedia, Wikimedia and Wikimedia) Overview The party capital of the country, Goa, is a favourite beach holiday destination amongst local and foreign tourists. It is also easily accessible from any part of the country, whether you go by road or by air. Of course, by road, you have the options of either train or bus. You can also reach the state via your own car or a hired vehicle. For those who don't like wasting time or just don't have much time in their hands, then air journey is your best option. Goa is connected to many other parts of India via flights. In this guide, we would highlight the flight fares from Delhi to Goa, whether it's peak season or off-peak season. Flight Fares from Delhi to Goa by Month Flight fares depend on just how early you booked a flight. The earlier you book a flight, the lesser you have to pay. But if you book at rush times, say a week or a day before your flight, you might have to pay higher fares. It also depends on the season that you're flying, whether it's peak tourist season or off-peak tourist season. For Goa, the peak tourist season is generally from winter to summer, that is from November to May. Come monsoon season in the end of June, air fares are a bit more affordable since this is the beginning of off-peak tourist season, which lasts until October. This table highlights the air fares from Delhi to Goa by month in a year. As mentioned above, November to May is the peak tourist season, as you can also see from the table, these months have the highest air fares. Also apparent is that January has the highest air fares out of all the months, with an average of Rs. 8,713 per passenger. If you want to save some money, you can opt for the off-peak months of June to October, the months with the lowest air fares. The month of August is the best month for budget travellers as air fares average at Rs. 3,200 during this month.
