Finding cheap flights to Delhi
Delhi connects you to the north of India, from Punjab and Rajasthan to the foothills of the Himalaya. Non-stop flights leave Heathrow every day.
Flights from UK airports to Delhi
We book flights to Delhi from London Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester and London Gatwick. 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 Delhi
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is in the south west of Delhi. The Airport Express metro line reaches New Delhi station in about 20 minutes, and taxis take 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Delhi is also an easy place to connect to Amritsar, Chandigarh, Jaipur and other Indian cities.
Direct and one-stop flights
Air India, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly non-stop from Heathrow. One-stop fares through the Gulf or Europe are often cheaper and work well from Manchester and Birmingham. If you are heading on to Punjab, we can compare flying to Amritsar directly.
Baggage allowance
Most economy fares to India include checked baggage, but allowances vary by airline and fare. We confirm exactly what is included and whether you have one or two bags before you pay.
Best time to fly to Delhi
October to March is the best time to visit, with the clearest skies in November and February. Diwali, Christmas and New Year are the busiest weeks for fares. April to June is very hot, and the monsoon arrives around July.
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. Entry rules can change, so check the GOV.UK foreign travel advice before you book and again before you fly.
Tips for booking
October to March brings the best weather. Diwali and Christmas are the busiest weeks, so book early.
