What is the Step-by-step Procedure for Air Tickets Booking with CureIndia?

Booking your flight to India for medical treatments doesn’t have to be confusing or stressful. Here is the 5 step procedure for air tickets booking through CureIndia:

Step 1:

Once your medical treatment is confirmed, our team will request the following details. You can share this information via WhatsApp, phone call, or email.

  • Your country of departure
  • Preferred travel dates
  • Whether you're flying alone or with a companion/caregiver
  • Any medical condition that may affect your travel.

Step 2:

Based on your inputs, we’ll suggest reliable airlines that are known for service and flexibility and recommend the best flight timings that align with your hospital appointments

Step 3:

You can review the suggested options and select the flight that fits your budget and schedule and confirm if your medical schedule has any final changes. We are happy to coordinate with your doctor and hospital to double-check timing.

Step 4:

Once you've chosen your flight, you can book it yourself directly via airline websites. Remember to check visa requirements, medical documents, and airline health policies.

Step 5:

After booking, send us your confirmed flight details so we can schedule your airport pickup, coordinate with the hospital for arrival preparations, and confirm your hotel or guesthouse's check-in time. Our team will be ready to assist as soon as you land in India.

How Can I Book My Flight Ticket to India?

Flying to India from another country is easy if you follow a clear process. It is usually advised to apply for an Indian medical visa before booking a flight ticket in order to avoid any complications or refund problems. If you’re looking for assistance in regard to your VISA application, you can check out our VISA page. Here’s how you can book your flight ticket to India:

Step 1:

India has several international airports. Choose the city that best suits your purpose of travel. CureIndia offers all-inclusive treatments in cities including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and more. Choose the airport closest to your hospital, hotel, or event.

Step 2:

Decide your travel dates. Pick flexible travel dates to get the best deals. For medical travel, align dates with your appointment or surgery schedule and make sure to always leave some buffer time before major appointments.

Step 3:

Use trusted flight comparison websites to find the best fares for yourself. The comparison sites include Google Flights, Skyscanner, Momondo, Kayak, and more. Through these sites, make sure to compare the airlines and check if there are layovers or if it's a direct flight, duration, baggage allowance, refund and cancellation policies.

Step 4:

Next step is choosing the airline for travel. Some trusted international airlines that fly to India are Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Singapore Airlines, Air India and IndiGo. Make sure to check baggage rules, in-flight comfort, and medical support policies.

Step 5:

Once you've selected your flight, you can book directly via the airline’s website for better support in case of changes. Some points to remember for this step are to make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months, double-check your visa requirements before confirming your ticket and use a credit card for added protection and easier refunds.

Step 6:

Once your flight tickets are confirmed, make sure to print your e-ticket and visa approval, carry your passport, vaccination records, and important documents, check health requirements, pack weather-appropriate clothing and make sure your travel insurance is valid and up-to-date, especially for medical and long-term stays

Step 7:

Complete your  immigration and customs and make sure to carry some Indian currency or use international cards. You can also make use of CureIndia’s currency exchange services regarding the same. 

Points to Consider for Air Tickets Booking:

  • Book 6-8 weeks in advance for the best rates
  • Medical travelers should consult their doctor about flight safety post-treatment
  • Arrive in India 1-2 days before your appointments to rest and adjust to the time zone
  • English is widely spoken in airports and hospitals
  • Get a local SIM card for easier communication
