About This Route

Delhi is India's layered capital of Mughal monuments, bustling bazaars, and a gateway to the Golden Triangle. The cool, dry season is by far the best window to explore.

Delhi is among the longest nonstops from New York, running about fourteen hours; Air India flies it from JFK and United operates the route from Newark. Given the distance, direct service is a real comfort compared with lengthy one-stop alternatives through Europe or the Gulf. Value tends to appear in February, March and October, outside the busy holiday and wedding-season peaks. India requires an approved e-Visa for most US tourists, so arrange it well in advance. Delhi is roughly nine and a half hours ahead of New York, so allow for significant jet lag. Checking both JFK and EWR fares can pay off.

Pro tip: Book 3-6 weeks in advance for the best deals. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically the cheapest days to fly on this route. Avoid traveling during peak periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break for lower fares.
