On a first trip to India I wanted a taste of the different regions and decided on flying as the quickest and easiest way to get around. I bought a 15 Day Discover India Airpass - allowing unlimited flights - through travel-in-india.com (or try your local travel agent). Currently the 15 Day pass costs US $600 (about 217 Euros/ 169 Pounds). There is also 7 days pass (one region only) for US $300 and a 21 days one (unlimited flights) for US $850. Airpasses are available on both Indian Airlines and Jet Airways – there´s really not much between them – and only Foreign Nationals and Non Resident Indians are eligible. An important restriction of the Airpass is that "no back tracking is permitted and that travel must be in a continuous geographic direction", so I took flights in a clockwise direction from Delhi-Bagadora-Kolkata-Cochin-Goa-Mumbai and then used taxi/train/bus to discover areas nearby, e.g. from Delhi I travelled to Agra and Jaipur, from Bagadora airport I travelled to Darjeeling and Mirik, from Cochin I travelled to the backwaters of Alleppey. Recently the likes of spicejet.com and flykingfisher.com are offering very cheap prices on individual flights, which depending on your itinerary might make better economic sense than the Airpass.
