This offer from the Russian carrier Aeroflot is definitely an interesting one. The SkyTeam member is selling tickets for flights in Business Class from Paris to New Delhi for prices starting at only €1,349.
The trip will take you from Paris to Aeroflot’s hub in Moskow on board an Airbus A321. From Russia to Delhi, the carrier will operate an Airbus A330. Layover times at Sheremetyevo International Airport are rather short (2-3 hours), and as an EU citizen, you shouldn’t need a visa, as long as you don’t leave the airport.
Aeroflot Business Class
Now, Aeroflot isn’t an airline that most people are familiar with. But that doesn’t mean the carrier isn’t offering a decent product. While you’ll be sitting in recliner seats (like the ones you might know from North American First Class) on your way from Paris to Moscow, the flight to India will offer angled lie-flat seats and a full-service Business Class cabin.

Information & Tips for Delhi
Delhi or New Delhi is the capital of India, the world’s second most popoulos country. The city combines architectural elements from more than 1,000 years. Therefore it appears as a timeless conflux of several cultures. From Hinduism, Moghul India through British colonial influences, the poeple of Delhi inhabited and preserved what they got from whomever ruled the city.
The result is a city full of sights like pompous temples and mosques, regal colonial buildings and buzzing shopping districts. One of India’s best public transport systems and a steady flow of taxis and rickshaws help you get around. With its undeniable contemporary influences, Delhi is the best gateway to enter the culturally vastly different country of India.
Best Time to Travel
Delhi is hot – from May through August, the average daily temperature is above 30 degrees, making this an unpleasant time to visit the city. From mid-september, when monsoon season is finished, to November is a great time go. While December and January can be cold and unpleasant, from February to April is another good time frame for a trip to India’s capital.
