The Eurorail pass is the most expensive one!

Does it allow you to go between London and Manchester on any train?
That would pay for itself in a journey or two...

or Bristol to London, which I am told can be more expensive than Nice
to Bristol

Top price for Bristol to London is £179 in standard class. Manchester to
London is £296. I would only pay £296 to fly to Nice if it was for
business, and at the last minute. Gawd, we're going to Delhi on holiday
soon for £400...

How do you get a ticket to India for that price?

I paid over £500 for a flight in early December (before the prices go up
for Christmas)

Or are you going when it's hot?

Booked on Expedia/Swissair in November.

I paid over £500 for a flight in early December (before the prices go up
for Christmas)

That's a great price for then.

April 5-19, it will be hot in Delhi/Rajasthan but no more than we're
used to, Goa will be fine though.

You are almost an order of magnitude too high for the air fare.
