Flying to Delhi from the UK
Delhi is the main gateway for travel to northern India, and many UK travellers fly into Delhi and continue by train or a domestic flight to Punjab, Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh. Peak demand is around Diwali, Christmas and the summer holidays.
Direct flights from London take around 8.5 hours. If your final destination is elsewhere in India, such as Amritsar, Ahmedabad or Goa, it can be cheaper to fly into Delhi or Mumbai and add a domestic flight than to look for a direct international fare. We will price both.
Tips for booking flights to Delhi
- Price a domestic onward flight as well as a direct international fare to your final city.
- Check e-visa requirements well before you travel.
