I have been talking to bunch of travel agents today….
1)Span Travels-No good deals
2)Deepak Travels-408-735-7849- good deals
3)Sunnyvale Travels-408-245-5090-prices comparable to Deepak Travels
4)Sam – 408-941-0781- Good Deals…
Onething after Nov 20 2006 prices increase by like almost $250-$300…
So seems best time to depart would be like 19 Nov if someone is looking for Nov-Dec 2006 Time frame.
Also those who need H1-b stamping need to first get their visa dates which are currently abt 10 Nov for Mumbai Consulate…

Have bought tickets from Deepak travels, sunnyvale travels and VIP travels (fremont) in the past. Sam also has good deals, but haven’t gone to India after Sam has started his travel agency 🙁
Sunnyvale Travels accepts Credit cards without any extra charges 🙂 … All other agents charge around $30 for credit card payment method.
We buy our tickets from Deepak Travel. She gives us a good deal.
We have bought our tickets from Deepak Travels for the past 4 years. Rita of Deepak Travels was always very prompt and to the point. 🙂
Mita forgot to mention that she knows Rita personally. Mita, are we allowed to mention your name as reference to get slightly better attention? 🙂

Not a travel agent recommendation 🙂 but useful site to look for travel companions

Though travel agents are good alternative for deals and helping with checking availability and rates with multiple date options, but dont forget to check expedia and online airline sites. There have been quite a few occasions when we have found deals online on the airline site itself. This time I got my tickets thru continental directly and i remember couple of years back I got tickets thru KLM online.

Last time we had bought ticket from Trujain Travels from Trupti. She gave us really good discount.
