$2200 is way too high...
i know u can get one for $1650 lufthansa...

Really? Including taxes?

Do you have a particular travel agent? The website price says 3983.

I know kuwait airways had a seat sale for 1650, but with taxes it came up to almost 2000. I would rather pay the extra 100 bucks and fly with BA than stop in London and Kuwait..

Let me know about lufthansa though.

Thanks

found a bunch via british airways ~1772 tax in.

What dates are you guys looking for?

Take whatever the lowest it is (take a printout of the online quote) to any flight center, and they will beat the price! I was flying to Pakistan last summer and I couldnt find anything lower. They got me the exact same flight for cheaper. They are really good. They try to sell you insurance though, but if you say no, thats cool with them too.

I checked the Travel Cuts website. The price without taxes is 1775. With taxes it comes upto 2100!

I'm looking for two tickets in July, and two in August, with all four returning in Sept(labor day).

I wonder why prices are so high from here. It seems as though there are much better deals from the US. There are a lot of indian people in toronto though. You would think that they would have better deals!

shopping for the best price isn't the same as shopping for the best route. you often have to take flight routes into consideration; toronto does offer some of the most competitive pricing but don't forget there are yearly festivals and seasonal visits that eat up seats (whole family returns home).

for example: lufthansa often has a stop over in the middle-east. some travelers report they've been stuck for 24hr+ delays in kuwait. meanwhile, the best air france route takes you directly to delhi once it departs from europe. which route suits your patience & pocketbook? flying directly into india is a keen strategy for seeking local flights/prices. so balance your expectations with comfort because it's already an 18-22hr flight so don't make matters worse with delays & stop overs.
