FAQs - booking India flights

  • Can I fly indirectly to India at a better rate?

    You can find cheap flights to India that stop over for plane changes out of most UK airports. These indirect flights often offer better value for money, particularly those that make two stopovers. As a good example, you can book a combination flight from Heathrow (LHR) with Wizz Air, changing aircraft in Bucharest (OTP) and then again in Abu Dhabi (AUH), where you'll switch to GoFirst. You'll land at New Delhi Airport (DEL).

  • Are there airlines flying to India that produce less CO2?

    KLM makes a very good choice if you're environmentally conscious and want to reduce your carbon footprint when flying to India. The airline saves more than 50% in carbon emissions on most of its flights. Lufthansa and British Airways come next in line, reducing carbon emissions by about 48% and 47%, respectively.

  • Are child seats mandatory in India?

    India has no laws mandating that young children need to travel in child seats, but it's a very good idea to hire one as a bookable extra if you're going to be driving around one of the larger cities like New Delhi or Mumbai. India's traffic conditions can be hectic, so you can expect to have to make sudden stops quite often. It pays to make sure your children are safely restrained.You can book these at the airport car hire desks through KAYAK.

  • Are there direct flights to India?

    It depends which city you are flying to, but Air India and Virgin Air operate direct flights to New Delhi from London Heathrow (LHR) and British Airways have non-stop flights to Mumbai.

  • Can I carry duty free alcohol into India?

    As it is forbidden to consume alcohol in some states in India, visitors who want to enjoy their favourite alcoholic beverage at sundown will be glad to know that if you are a non-resident, it is possible to take up to two litres of duty-free alcohol into the country. You can purchase this at your airport of departure or carry it in hold luggage if it has been purchased before you check in for your flight.

  • Where should I fly to in India if I want to see the Taj Mahal?

    If you are going to see the Taj Mahal, you will need to get to the city of Agra. From the UK, it is advisable to book a flight into New Delhi and then arrange to take public transport from New Delhi to Agra.

  • I am only going to visit Goa, what is the best airport to use?

    Goa has an airport that operates international flights during peak tourist times. However, as the airport is set up to receive mainly domestic flights, it might be more practical to fly into Mumbai and catch one of the many connecting flights to Goa.

  • How long is the flight to India?

    An average direct flight from the United Kingdom to India takes 12h 38m, covering a distance of 4616 miles. The most popular route is London - New Delhi with an average flight time of 8h 20m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to India?

    The cheapest ticket to India from the United Kingdom found in the last 72 hours was £185 one-way, and £287 round-trip. The most popular route is London Heathrow to New Delhi Indira Gandhi Intl and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was £342.

  • Which airlines fly to India?

    Air India, American Airlines & British Airways fly the most frequently from the United Kingdom to India.

  • What are the most popular destinations in India?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is New Delhi (25% of total searches to India). The next most popular destinations are Mumbai (18%) and Ahmedabad (11%). Searches for flights to Amritsar (7%), to Kochi (Cochin) (7%) and to Hyderabad (6%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to India

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest India flight deals.
  • You'll find cheap flights to India that leave from most of the major cities in the UK, including those in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The majority of flights originate from any one of London's airports, so you can choose any of them, depending where you're coming from.
  • To help you find cheap flights to India, use the filters on the KAYAK live flight schedules. On this route there's a very cost-effective direct flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to Indira Gandhi New Delhi Airport (DEL) on Virgin Atlantic.
  • Instead of using public transport in Indian cities, it's a better idea to organise a hire car. This is equally true whether you're staying in an urban area or planning to go sightseeing in the countryside. It will give you all the independence you need.
  • India has several international airports that provide onward connections to other destinations. Mumbai is a good central hub that has flight connections to both the north and south of the country. You could consider flights into New Delhi if your visit is focused mainly on the northern part of India or Chennai if you want to explore the southern part of the country.
  • If you are looking at flights to India so you can visit some of the less touristic states in the northeast of the country, you could consider flying into Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) in Kolkata. From here, you can take domestic flights to airports such as Pakyong (PYG), Jorhat (JRH) or Dimapur (DMU), and make your way into the mountainous states of Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland.
  • For visitors wanting to spend time in Kerala, there are two main cities with airports – Kochi and Trivandrum. If you want to spend your time at the beach, then Trivandrum Airport (TRV) is the best airport to fly into and Cochin Airport (COK) in Kochi will give you access to other areas of interest. From the UK, it is advisable to first fly into Bengaluru or Chennai and then take a domestic flight to one of these two airports in Kerala.
  • Visas are required for all visitors to India and it is necessary to obtain the visa before you fly. It is possible to obtain an e-Visa, which is valid for 60 days and can only be used for purposes of tourism, business, medical visits or visiting family. In order to obtain this e-Visa, UK passport holders will need to have a passport that is valid for 6 months after entering India and has two blank pages in it.
  • As visitors cannot enter India carrying Indian Rupees, it is necessary to have organised your currency requirements before you travel. It is possible to take foreign currency cash into the country, which you can then change at a bureau de change (each international airport has currency desks) into the local currency.

The overall flight experience between Doha and Kolkata was satisfactory. The staff onboard were notably engaged, responsive, and enthusiastic, providing a level of service that stood out, especially when compared to the less attentive crew on the earlier leg from Heathrow to Doha. Their eagerness to assist made the journey more pleasant. Additionally, the time spent at the Silver Lounge in Doha contributed positively to the experience. The lounge offered a comfortable and relaxing environment, with adequate amenities and attentive staff. Overall, both the flight and the lounge experience in Doha met expectations, making for a smooth and satisfactory travel experience.

The rows of seats in economy class are seriously close to one another making eating and resting just about impossible - there is hardly any legroom. Anyone larger than average size would have an incredibly uncomfortable flight. I had to basically share my seat with the lady passenger next to me as she was too big to fit into her allotted seat.

Being a platinum member, no attention given. No towel or tissue provided.

Food was good, attendants were friendly. Seats were not comfortable. Did not receive any amenities such as eyemask or earplugs that would have helped sleep. Additionally a large group of passengers boarded very late into boarding and were a disruption for almost the whole flight. Flight attendants did their best but the kids were making so much noise, kicking seats, and half the time no adult was sat with them so they weren’t being managed.

No towels or tissue and chocolate and mint provided before arrival

They made us deliberate waste time by holding our passports and boarding passes making us miss the flight

I staff or crew they were very friendly and humbly, they done theirs service very well, I appreciate them and thank you to the company or Qatar 🇶🇦 Government for providing as good service in their flight ,once again, thank you 😊 🙏 😀 😉 👍

Just money making business. This was my fourth journey with Qatar Airways, year by year the quality of service getting poor. Food is very cheap. They have some low quality alcohol beverages. They don’t have any brandy or cognac. No toilet around the gate lounge. We have to wait until getting to the flight for use toilet.very long standing for entering into the flight. We can see the old passenger suffering.

I had never seen any cabin crews behaving like that. They are not at all professionally fit for this job

Crews are very rude and unhelpful. Cramped seats in economy. Foods are useless

My only complaint is that the pocket in front of me was ripped and my things, like iPad and airline magazines, kept slipping to the floor.

Flight delayed yet again. Crew apathetic and unhelpful re affect on connecting flight.

I think Virgin is one of the best flying experiences, especially from/to the UK. The staff are so helpful and fun, the food is good, seats comfortable, goof entertainment and great value. Check in and boarding is pretty pain free. I also find that the other passengers are generally so kind and considerate than when I've flown other airlines.

Cabin crew on our flight showed lack of any customer service gruff and acting annoyed if you asked anything and I mean anything Example a man on the seat over dropped his beer on my husbands blanket We asked if we could switch out blankets cabin crew Said. No we don’t have any extras OK well can you take the wet one Cabin crew looked disgusted and annoyed Took it no OK or yes just a growl

Quick flight. But cabin crew were very noisy and talking too much, especially when we were seated at the back of the plane trying to sleep through the night .

My ticket was for Premium Economy and all the seats were taken, I was placed in Economy class and I’m looking for a refund.

Unfortunately delayed 2 hrs due to faulty tyre.. which had to be changed, but better safe than sorry.

The delay was an issue. Other than that. Every thing good

Hi vergin Atlantic service was good but the flight ticket agent travel up charge me extra 57 pounds as a airport charges, actually I refuse to pay but they say if I not pay £57 then they say you will not be able to travel from Heathrow to goa ,so for me there was no option and it was just 3 day before my departure so i paid, so please look in to the matter. And I have a receipt of £ 57 as well .thanks

Staff didn’t check cabin well for landing seemed more interested in chatting to each other. Food was poor and differed from pre order.

Boarding was efficient, had to check in cabin luggage. Seats were narrow, food was more in quantity, received cabin luggage on the luggage belt which was fine.

Needs better seat for business class. My seat was falling apart. Also no WiFi on that flight

In never flown this flight, because my flight coning from Barcelona was delayed.

Only 1 time food and drinks together was offered, for total 5 hours duration drinks and snacks was never offered. For some people food choice was not available, only veg was available. No entertainment option was there. Crew members were mostly back of the flight asking each other for KitKat and chips to share between them.

Etihad flight sector is a local . .give the same quality upto destination

Seat selection screen while online check-in could include free seats to choose from and show the options before we proceed. Currently, it is auto-allocated and there are no options for free seat selections.

Long way to improve. Toilets not working. Bad handling when flight was canceled

Lovely crew - comfortable journey despite it being an older plane.

The business class experience is fantastic. The crew were polite but often unavailable even when I tried to call them! I even found myself bringing my used dishes and cutlery up to the crew because no one had come to collect it after over an hour.

1st time with. Etihad Airways and it was amazing from check in to crew. Great flight.

Flight on time. Food was poor - low quality and hard to eat due to poor layout

Experience was probably the best I’ve had on BA for a long time. Only thing is A380 is old now and it needs upgrading. The en re attainment screens are very small and the touchscreen barely works.

Unreliable for flight to and from Paris - taken 6 flights this year and delayed on the way back every single time - very frustrating. And to top it all up - baggage delays are horrendous

Disaster out of City Airport with our flight cancelled and very little help.

The onboard service makes it extremely difficult and slow to go to the toilet

Flight OK but they only loaded half of the checked bags on. This they only told us on arrival

Flight cancelled! Rebooked by circuitous routing although there were seats available on other nonstop flights.

My experience was very disappointing. Firstly I was unable to check in using the kiosks. Secondly even though I purchased a flight with one checked bag, I was told at the counter that a checked bag was not included in my flight booking. And I had to pay for my bag. At the check in counter, the airline representative was very arrogant and demeaning. She insisted on charging me £140 for the luggage. And said it was an automatic charge calculated by the scale. This didn’t make sense to me. As it was 0.5 kg overweight. Which only required me to remove 2 bottles of water. Having an extensive flight schedule that involved multiple flights included NY and Brussels, this leg of my flight was the most stressful and unpleasant.

Service of the crews were great. Food on flight was very greasy, and salty.

Sardine can herringbone layout in business class. Uncomfortable and nowhere to put your book, phone, headphones, etc. worst hard product ever, and the service and food aren’t good enough to make it worthwhile. Expensive garbage. British Airways purchased this thinking only about financials, clearly not customer experience. British Airways business class is the garbage truck of the skies. Hard pass!

Food not of any international or even Indian standard. We have many cuisine available but only paneer & sundry items. Improve & provide some good indian items. Entertainment website or channel out of order.

Entertainment screens were either broken nor did not work. Also seat back did not work. Definitely not comfortable journey

Planes are very old and dated, entertainment doesn't work at all, food was below average. Flight was on time and seats have better leg space than competition.

Non reclining seats on a 14 hour flight. Crew skipped drinks for my row at least twice.

Everything was bad and entertainment did not work and no landing cards and overall done with Air India

Too bad. Got too much trouble with security screening at New Delhi

Poor behavior by ground staff in Mumbai. Very harassing. Initially they did not let me board with my little violin. They do not have the correct information. No concept of hospitality. The food on the flight was not good.

Information about when boarding would start was missing. Ground staff wasn't ready to provide any information with the answer being in the next 15 minutes any time we asked. (Took 2 hours)

I don’t like air India seats are too small and staff are not that nice

The tv didn’t work and the seats were too small
