I know I could get the information on the internet but wish to take the desi perspective on booking a return flight ..
a. When to book : How much time before is the best time to book a flight ? I d read some where that booking it highly in advance also is not cheaper ... some where b/w 6 to 12 weeks in advance is perhaps when you might get the best deal ..Is that correct ?
b. How to book : These days on-line booking removes the middleman .. I know of CheapoAir and FlyFar.ca .. Are there any other websites that you have had a good experience with and wish to recommend ?
c. How to get best seats : I know that for an extra charge the Airlines give you access to a tool which allows you to select your seats in advance ..first come first served basis and 24 hours before the flight the tool is available to all to choose and print their boarding pass as well ... I guess my q is .. which seats in economy class give you the maximum legroom and is that in some way decided by the aircraft you are on ? Also is it better to have seat in the front , middle or rear of the aircraft ..My guess is front since business class is in the front ..
The following qs are related to return flights DEL- YYZ for seniors ( my parents are visiting in May and I wish to book a return flight for them May- Nov)
d. Are there any direct flights - I d heard of Jet Airways / Air India but not sure ? Have never travelled Jet Airways but have heard good about it ..Had a pleasant experience flying Air India .
e. I wished them to get maximum legroom in an economy flight ..How to achieve this ?

Thanks , I wish to avoid Heathrow as a transit point though I would be requesting for wheel chair assistance to avoid them any trouble in reaching the correct gates in time.
Incidentally I also came across a website Seatguru which tells you the seats lay out per the Airlines and the aircraft type ..Appears that exit rows have more legroom than the rest ...
Will check out Jet .
