While Toronto and Perth have seen a significant rise in flight searches with 92 per cent and 95 per cent respectively, other destinations like Boston, Paris, and San Francisco and Melbourne have also seen a minimum of 21 per cent increase.
Kayak.co.in conducted a survey between January 1 last year and May 15 this year which was compared to data from search period between January 1 in 2016 and May 15 last year.
"With the introduction of more direct flight routes that are priced decently, it is no longer a hassle for Indians to travel far," said Abhijit Mishra, Director of India and Middle East at Kayak.
There is an increase not just in the preference for long-haul flights, but even the average trip duration that Indians are going on vacations for has seen a jump.
None of the top nine destinations -Boston, London, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Perth, San Francisco, Sydney and Toronto -- have an average trip duration of less than a week, with the average shortest being a fortnight, and the maximum being as long as a month.
