Route on the map
When to fly
Demand on this route rises around school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period, and again when travellers head for India's summer season. May is the cheapest month in the price calendar shown here, while October to June is covered month by month. Weekday departures are often calmer than weekend ones, and Friday evenings can be crowded. Book earlier for school holiday dates and festival periods, because those flights fill first.
Airlines and what to expect
The real difference between these tickets is the connection: where you change planes, how long the wait is, and whether your bags are checked through. Nordic Regional Airlines, Lufthansa, Swiss, Aegean Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Edelweiss Air, BA CityFlyer, British Airways and Qatar Airways all appear on this route, but none offers a non-stop flight. Some fares behave like one booking with through baggage, while others split into segments with separate rules. Check meal, seat and bag inclusions on the exact fare, not just the airline name.
Arriving — Delhi
Indira Gandhi International is a large airport, so allow extra time for immigration, baggage and terminal changes. Transfers into Delhi are usually by airport rail link, metro, prepaid taxi or ride-hailing, and road traffic can be slow at peak times. Watch for unofficial taxi touts and keep your arrival terminal clear when you land. If you connect onward within India, check which terminal your next flight uses before you leave immigration.
