If it doesn't cost much more, I would fly into Indianapolis. Then look up "Lafayette Limo". They will pick you up and bring you to Purdue's Memorial Union.

You are correct, there are no commercial flights to Purdue airport in West Lafayette. I live across the river in Lafayette, by the way. Indianapolis airport is about 75 minutes, and Lafayette Limo will take you for $27 one-way. They leave approximately every 2 hours. It is best to have a reservation, especially if you have a lot of baggage. They make a few stops in Lafayette/West Lafayette, so be sure to get off at the right stop. http://www.lafayettelimo.com/ To get from Mumbai to Indianapolis, however, you will have to change planes once or twice. There are no international flights from IND except to Toronto and Cancun. You could fly BOM-EWR-IND, for instance. Or BOM-FRA-YYZ-IND. There are many other possibilities. As for O'Hare, there are nonstop flights BOM-ORD. You can then take Express Air Coach to Purdue. $65, takes about 3 hours. Note that there is a time change - when it is 10:00 at Purdue, it is 9:00 at Chicago. http://www.expressaircoach.com/ I think Jet Airways also has flights to either EWR or JFK. There should be nonstop flights EWR-ORD on Continental, United, and American. JFK-ORD on United, American. JFK-IND on US Airways, Delta. EWR-IND on Continental. Not sure about ticket price, but the flight on Jet Airways or a European airline will likely be nicer than on a US-based airline. Or if you can fly Eastbound, consider Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines - they are consistently rated the nicest airlines in the world. They both serve Los Angeles, and from there you can fly nonstop to Indianapolis (on Northwest) or Chicago (on United or American).
