Which airlines fly Bengaluru to Delhi?
This is one of India's busiest routes, with dozens of departures a day. Air India is the full-service option; IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express are low-cost. At Bengaluru, domestic flights use Terminal 1 or 2 depending on the airline. Delhi has three terminals, T1, T2 and T3, so check your boarding pass.
Best flight timings
Early-morning (6–8 am) and evening (6–9 pm) flights carry business travellers and cost more. In December and January, Delhi fog can delay late-night and early-morning arrivals, so a midday landing is the safest bet in winter.
Baggage: full-service vs low-cost
IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express include 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin on standard fares, with food for sale. Air India includes a meal and 15 kg or more depending on the fare. For winter trips north, wear your jacket on board and pack woollens in your checked bag.
Getting from Delhi airport to the city
T3 has the Airport Express metro to New Delhi station, about 20 minutes for under ₹100; T1 is on the Magenta line. App cabs to Connaught Place cost ₹450–800 and take 30–60 minutes. Agra is 3.5–4 hours by road via the Yamuna Expressway, and Jaipur about 5 hours.
When to book and connecting options
Book 3–6 weeks ahead. Diwali, Holi, Christmas and long weekends push fares up; late January to March and July to September are usually cheapest. Delhi is the main hub for Srinagar, Leh, Varanasi, Amritsar and Dehradun; book on one ticket so your bags transfer automatically.
Tips for families and seniors
Bengaluru's airport is 1–2 hours from most of the city, so leave early. Request wheelchairs at both ends. Delhi swings from about 45°C in May to near 5°C on January nights, so pack for the season.
