Hello Andy,  I will be in Manila on business and want to leave from Manila to go to Chennai, India for a three week vacation.  The flights I am finding are very expensive.  Do you have an airline or a search engine you can suggest for this flight?   Maybe I need to fly to another country and then to India? I am finding the prices from Manila to Chennai are higher than from San Francisco to Chennai.  Please advise.  I also want to say thanks for all the travel tips and information I have received from your website the past few years.  God bless you.

 

 

I think flying from Manila to Chennai is difficult, you did not say the price, so hard to day what is expensive. The words LCC or Low Cost Carries will get you better fare, however you nee do buy online and then to coordinate two airlines is your job and not a travel agents job.
This page with work you can find the webpages of the LCC

I think there is maybe three airlines or LCC that fly from either Manila or Clark .... Then to  Singapore, Macau and Bangkok.

Cebu Pacific is flying to Bangkok now

Air Sahara flies from Singapore to Chennai as of June 2007.

If you are in Bangkok near Khao San Road there are many travel agents that will sell a ticket to India round trip.

 

NOTE: India requires a Visa for an American.

 

Hope this helps
