Nice webpage - very good description of the standard and amenities on the flights - I use BC to compare both prices and cabin quality and book my flights.
Have used bussinessclass.com for half a year already and I am very happy, it works out perfect and customer support is also very good. There are some other sites who uses the same name, but they are not as good as this one which I would say is the original and most trustworthy.
Businessclass.com always have the best hotel and flight deals. Airlines and hotels are reviewed to offer you the best experience.

When to go: Delhi climate
For Delhi (DEL), comfort peaks October–March with average temperatures around 15–25°C (59–77°F) and low rainfall; if you want pleasant weather without peak fares, target February at 18°C with just 25 mm of rain.
Heat is most intense in May at 34°C (93.2°F); if you’re heat‑sensitive, pivot to November at 20°C (68°F) for cooler sightseeing.
Monsoon rains are heaviest in August at 220 mm and remain high in July–September; build buffer time into your itinerary and favor morning arrivals to absorb potential delays.
January is the coolest month at 14°C (57.2°F) with 20 mm of rain, but morning fog can affect operations; book midday or afternoon arrivals to reduce disruption risk.
October offers near‑ideal conditions at 25°C (77°F) with only 20 mm of rain, but it overlaps a fare uptick; if price matters, slide to late September when weather is still manageable and fares trend 13 points lower.

When to book:
Optimal booking window
For San Francisco (SFO) to Delhi (DEL), the sweet spot is 75–105 days out where the index sits 76–77, roughly 23–24% below last‑minute pricing; start monitoring at four months and aim to book around three months.
Prices climb steadily inside 30 days from 90 to 100, about an 11% increase versus the 30‑day mark; avoid cutting it close unless schedule certainty outweighs the premium.
Booking ultra‑early is good but not optimal: 150 days posts 83 versus 90 days at 76, about 9% higher than the trough; wait for the 2.5–3.5‑month window if possible.
Community flyers on BusinessClass.com report better premium‑cabin availability around 10–12 weeks on this corridor; combine that window with fare alerts to catch brief sales.
If you must travel in peak months (Oct–Dec), widen your buy window to 90–120 days and pre‑select acceptable routings so you can commit quickly when fares dip.
Price seasonality:
Cheapest months to fly
On San Francisco (SFO) to Delhi (DEL), November is the priciest month at 112 versus February at 90, a 22‑point gap that’s about a 24% swing relative to February; if your dates are flexible, push travel to February to capture that saving.
June sits at 108 while March is 92, an 16‑point difference that reflects school‑holiday demand; shifting to late August at 97 avoids much of the summer spike.
October (106) and December (105) both price above average; choosing late September (93) instead trims about 13 points versus October without a major weather trade‑off.
Shoulder months April (96) and August (97) hover near average; picking either instead of June (108) can cut roughly 10–11 index points on the same routing.
BusinessClass.com community travelers report VFR and festival peaks lift fares in October–November; lock plans early for those months or consider March–April when prices are 10–16 points lower than peak.
Tips for a seamless journey
- Prioritize a true window seat in a 1-2-1 layout for privacy on San Francisco to Delhi; aircraft can vary on this route, so reviewing the seat map while booking helps you avoid paired layouts.
- Choose a nonstop San Francisco to Delhi flight when offered to cut misconnect risk; availability changes by carrier and date, so nonstop options may not appear every day.
- Confirm which Business Class lounge your carrier uses at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) if you want a pre-flight shower; shower demand is highest before late departures.
- Check whether your fare or status includes lounge access on arrival or during connections at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL); locating the correct lounge near your gate saves walking and time.
- Use priority check-in and security at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and priority lanes at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) when available; signage can differ by carrier, with airline branding marking the correct lane.
- Pre-select your main course if your carrier supports it on this route to secure your first choice; cutoff times vary, so expect them to close before departure day.
- Confirm onboard Wi‑Fi availability and any pre-purchase options during booking if you need continuous connectivity; coverage and pricing vary by aircraft and date.
- Verify Business Class cabin baggage limits for your specific carrier on the Delhi departure; a lighter personal item that slides fully under the ottoman or footwell improves sleep.
- Through-check bags to your final city if connecting beyond Delhi; immigration and re-screening rules at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) differ by itinerary, which can make tight connections risky.
- Rely on BusinessClass.com WhatsApp booking alerts already active on your reservation for any gate or schedule changes on San Francisco to Delhi; you can also reach our live team quickly by phone for personalized help with seats, meals, or rebooking.
