Your business class tickets are waiting, but they won’t be for long. India is a hot location for travel of any sort, but the flights cover quite a distance — and usually cost a pretty penny in business class. Happily, we found discounted flights in business from New York to India.

Let’s go over the details.

Fare Deal — Details

This fare sale comes courtesy of SkyTeam, Star Alliance, and Etihad, with discounted flights operated by Delta, Air France, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Air India, Swiss, Lufthansa, and Etihad. That’s highly unusual for this route, which normally sees sales from Saudia only.

If you’re not already an East Coast local, you’ll need to position yourself for this fare deal, so factor in the cost of an additional flight.

Class: Business
Routes: New York (JFK, EWR) to Delhi (DEL) or Mumbai (BOM)
Dates: July to December 2025
Rates: As low as $2,562 round-trip

You’ll find the lowest rates on the nonstop Air India flight from New York (JFK) to Mumbai (BOM).

Air India’s business class isn’t the best, however, so if you’re looking for a more premium experience you can spend a little more for flights with Delta, Air France, and Virgin Atlantic.

And if Etihad’s incredible business class has been on your list, you may want to take advantage here and get to check out the business class lounge in Abu Dhabi (AUH) while you’re at it. Sure, it’s the priciest option on the list, but regular rates for business class range upwards of $5,000, so this is a steal!

Best Ways To Book

Searching for these flights brings up a number of ways to book, including options via online travel agencies (OTA) or directly with these airlines. It can be a few dollars cheaper to go with an OTA, but you’ll want to be careful about doing so. These websites can be frustrating to deal with if you need to make changes or cancellations.

You can play around with routes and dates in Google Flights to help you find the best options.

If you decide to book with an OTA, rely on a card such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®, which will earn you 3x Ultimate Rewards points on all travel purchases.

If booking directly with the airline, The Platinum Card^® from American Express will earn 5x Membership Rewards points on flights purchased directly with the airline or through AmexTravel.com (up to $500,000 per year, then 1x).
