Air India has published a winter travel selection centred on international routes operating during the holiday period. The list covers Europe, North America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean, ranging from city breaks to warmer destinations. Flight frequency from Indian cities is outlined for each location, offering passengers a clearer view of current travel options.

In Europe and North America, the focus is on winter atmosphere and cultural events:

  • San Francisco is presented as a seasonal city break, known for festive fairs, decorated neighbourhoods, and winter attractions without peak-season crowds.
  • Copenhagen is known for its Christmas markets and winter traditions associated with hygge.
  • Amsterdam features winter canal views, museum visits, and the annual Light Festival.
  • Zurich pairs city-based winter events with easy access to the Alps and nearby resorts.

The overview also covers destinations with warmer winter weather.

  • Singapore’s December calendar includes festive events, lit streets along Orchard Road and New Year celebrations.
  • Mauritius is included for its beaches, water sports, island trips and national parks.

Both destinations are supported by frequent Air India services, allowing flexibility during the busy holiday period.

Further options are found in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, where winter temperatures are more comfortable for sightseeing:

  • Jeddah features historic districts, waterfront promenades, and seasonal events.
  • Ho Chi Minh City offers street markets, cultural landmarks, and riverside celebrations around the New Year.

These cities offer a mix of local traditions, regional cuisine and everyday urban life, with regular weekly flights linking them to Indian airports.

Taken together, the overview reflects how winter travel continues to diversify. Some passengers look for festive cities and colder climates, while others prioritise sunshine or cultural exploration without extreme heat. By setting out destinations across different regions and climates alongside flight frequency information, Air India reflects how winter travel choices increasingly depend on individual priorities, timing and preferred travel styles.
