Finding cheap flights to Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad is Gujarat's largest city and the airport many Gujarati families in Leicester, London and Bolton fly into, for Gandhinagar, Anand, Nadiad and Vadodara.

Flights from UK airports to Ahmedabad

We book flights to Ahmedabad from London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Birmingham and Manchester. Flying from your nearest airport can save the trip to London, and we compare it with London fares so you can see the difference.

Arriving in Ahmedabad

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is in the north of Ahmedabad, usually 30 to 45 minutes from the city centre and around 30 minutes from Gandhinagar. Vadodara is about two hours away on the expressway, and Anand and Nadiad are around 90 minutes.

Direct and one-stop flights

Air India has flown non-stop between London and Ahmedabad, and we check the current schedule on your dates. One-stop fares are often cheaper: Emirates through Dubai, Qatar Airways through Doha, Etihad through Abu Dhabi and Turkish Airlines through Istanbul all fly to Ahmedabad, with connections from Birmingham and Manchester as well as London.

Baggage allowance

Gulf airlines usually include a good checked allowance on India routes, and some fares allow two bags. Tell us if you are carrying wedding clothes or gifts and we will compare the allowance as well as the fare.

Best time to fly to Ahmedabad

November to February is the best weather. April to June is very hot, often above 40°C, and the monsoon runs from late June to September. Navratri, Diwali and Uttarayan, the kite festival on 14 January, are the busiest weeks, so book early for those.

Visas and entry

British passport holders need a visa for India. Most visitors apply for an Indian e-Visa online before travel, using the official Indian government website. If you hold an OCI card, you can travel on that with your passport. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.

Tips for booking

Navratri, Diwali and the kite festival in January are the busiest weeks. One-stop fares through Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi are often well below the non-stop price.
