The Power of Early Booking
Airlines use dynamic pricing, where fares rise as demand surges, especially during December when New Zealand’s Indian community flocks to Mumbai, Delhi, or Chennai for the festive season. Waiting too long means competing for scarce seats and paying a premium. Booking early puts you in control of your budget and itinerary. Maitrip’s exclusive early-bird fares ensure you don’t miss out:
These fares are more than just prices—they’re the chance to bring your entire family to a wedding in Punjab, upgrade to a premium seat for the long flight to Bengaluru, or save enough to splurge on Diwali celebrations in Jaipur. Early booking means better flight

Real Stories, Real Savings
Our customers’ stories highlight the value of planning with Maitrip. Last year, an Auckland family of five booked their December flights to India in July for $1359 each. Their savings funded a week-long tour of Rajasthan’s palaces and forts, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Another family waited until November, paying $400 more per ticket—a $2000 hit for their group. That difference could have covered a stay at a heritage hotel in Udaipur or a shopping spree in Delhi’s bustling markets.
Consider Priya, an Auckland student who hadn’t seen her grandparents in Chennai for three years. By booking a $1319 fare in August, she surprised her family for Diwali without draining her savings. For those seeking adventure, a couple booked our Thailand package last year, enjoying a 15-day tour for $1,755 each. The guided experience let them explore Bangkok’s temples and Phuket’s beaches stress-free, inspiring them to plan an India tour with Maitrip next. These stories prove that early planning with the right partner turns dreams into reality.
