Hi,

My parents are planning to travel in Apri from Chennai to SFO. If there is anyone who has purchased the tickets during this time, can you please give an idea of the price. I am getting somewhat different rates from different agents. Also, I understand they change the tax part quite a bit when you are ready to purchase the tickets.

I am getting a rate of 51,500+tax - total as 58,250.00 and another as 51700 + taxes - total of 60,700.00 Rs. on Singapore Airlines for 6 months.

Thanks

saras: yes, I am checking the rates from India

saptagir: Can you tell me which airlines was this? 54,000 Rs is a good deal - hope that included taxes.

These are the rates I have been quoted for April 1st week travel from Chennai to SFO for a 6 month ticket:

Singapore Airlines - 51700 + Taxes (9000 approx)
Cathay - 43600 + Taxes (8000 approx) (Via Colombo)
Cathay - 47800 + Taxes (8000 approx)
(Via Singapore,Kuala lumpur)
Lufthansa - 53400 + Taxes (9000 approx)
United Airlines - 44500 + Taxes (9000 approx)

I believe she came via Singapore Airlines - her price was approx. 49K plus tax which amounted upto 54K.
The price quote you got for Cathay also seems like a good deal.
