Emirates flies to 10 gateways in India operating 185 flights a week from Dubai.
Jet Airways has close to 20 flights a week from Dubai and Sharjah to nine gateways.
Air India operates from Dubai and Sharjah to nine Indian cities.
Plus Air Arabia, Etihad and RAK Airways, Qatar Airways and Oman Air are all regional operators to India. International players flying via Dubai, such as Lufthansa and KLM, boost connectivity further.
Budget carrier FlyDubai last month announced a new route to its second Indian destination of Hyderabad.
When to go: In general the coolest weather lasts from November to mid-March, with fresh mornings and evenings and dry, sunny days. Between April and June temperatures can soar and it is dry and dusty. Monsoon rains occur in most regions in summer between June and September.
Visa info: All foreign nationals require a visa to enter India, prior to arrival.
