As is in offline world where you need to compare different brick and mortar shops to come with a hot deal, on the net you need to do the same. Only difference is there is lot more junk on the net than the real world. You have to weed through this junk. You don’t need to stick with just one website. Try several like Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. Once you decide your route, go to the individual airlines websites and see if you can get a better deal for the same route.
There are always the travel aggregator sites which collect the data from different online sources and compare them for you.That is a great starting point and offer an easy place to compare flight prices to India and routes from different airlines.

For example cities like Mumbai, New Delhi and Chennai will have far more options than Hyderabad which has a smaller airport. Remeber that the busiest travel season in India is November to January so there is lot more demand and hence higher prices. But you can book sooner to get a better deal and discounted air tickets.
