Question
Hi, Stephen,
    My wife and I have since 1997 traveling about annually to
India--mostly to Gujarat via Mumbai and Trivandrum.  We've flown
(Singapore Air).  My wife is 65.
    Is there any cheap travel to India?  We are wondering about
cargo ships that take passengers.  You seem to have a lot of
experience.
    Thank you for this service and for your time.
         William Howell

Greetings William:

Sorry, but no experience with cargo ships. Our expertise is FREE global travel.

Here is a LINK to British Airways FREE companion ticket offer which you may find useful:

You make no mention of FREE award travel over the years. This has been our preferred method of travel. Here are some LINKS to our most recent newsletter and also a five page Article I wrote summarizing current FREE travel strategies:

I wish I could offer more specific information.

Enjoy happy and safe travels.

Expertise

FREE GLOBAL & DOMESTIC TRAVEL which always beats discount travel. In recent years we have enjoyed free travel to such destinations as Africa, Israel, Australia, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Hawaii, England, Greece, Alaska and our lower 48. Other budget travel areas include such as air brokers, rebate travel agencies, renting a Paris/Barcelona apartments for as little as $65/night (depending on length of stay and size of apt.), sightseeing and general TIPS on travel related comfort, safey/convenience and day to day SAVINGS. Since we travel Free 95% of the time I DO NOT OFFER ADVICE ON CHEAPEST, LOWEST PRICED AND/OR LAST MINUTE AIRLINE FARES. Such deals are best found by diligent Google research & reading the N.Y. and/or L.A. Sunday best in the U.S. Travel sections. FREE airline deals may NOT be available to non-U.S. residents.
