Cheap flights to Delhi
Cheap flights to Delhi land at Indira Gandhi International, the airport that serves India's capital. Travellers come for government and business meetings, for family, and for the markets, street food and Mughal-era monuments spread between Old Delhi and New Delhi. The run-up to the festive season and the cool winter months are the busiest, when seats from Europe and the Gulf fill fastest.
Flights to Delhi — where from
Airports — Delhi
Indira Gandhi International is the only airport serving Delhi, so every arrival lands there. From the terminals you can take the Airport Express metro towards New Delhi station, pick up a pre-paid taxi at the counter in arrivals, or book an app-based cab. Road traffic is heaviest in the evening, so the metro is often the calmer choice with luggage. Carriers such as Etihad Airways, Gulf Air, Air Arabia, Flynas, Jazeera Airways, SalamAir, Azerbaijan Airlines and Indigo connect Delhi with the Gulf, the Caucasus and beyond.
When to go
October to March is the window most visitors aim for: mild days, cool evenings, clearer skies. From April the heat builds and the monsoon follows in summer, so the crowds thin even though the city stays busy. Autumn's festival and wedding season fills flights from Istanbul, Warsaw, Vienna and Baku first, while connections through Chisinau, Budapest, Krakow, Vilnius, Prague or Bucharest stay quieter.
