FAQs - booking India flights

  • Which holidays may affect flights to India?

    Several major holidays in India can have an impact on prices, passenger volume and flight availability. The main ones to be aware of are Diwali (held in October or November), Holi (held in February or March) and Eid al-Fitr (held in April or May). During and on either side of these national holidays, air travel can be more expensive and crowded than usual. To ensure you can find the flights you need between Australia and India, it’s recommended to book well in advance if you plan to travel during these times of the year.

  • Which airport should I arrive at to visit the Ajanta Caves?

    The Ajanta Caves are located in the Aurangabad District of Maharashtra state in India. A convenient place to fly into is Aurangabad Airport (IXU), a single-terminal domestic hub situated about 5.5 km from the centre of Aurangabad. Flights into the airport are generally serviced by Air India and Jet Airways. If this will be the first destination on your trip, note that most flights from Australia to Aurangabad come with at least one stop in Delhi along the way.

  • How can I bring a pet with me on my flight to India?

    Airlines operating flights to India and within the country generally accept pets. However, each airline has its own policies and fees, so contacting your airline is crucial to confirm. There are also strict rules for travelling with pets. Generally, only two pets are allowed per family, and dogs and cats must be microchipped and vaccinated, with all details recorded on a health certificate. Your veterinarian can advise you on the list of required vaccinations and provide the health certificate. You’ll also need to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC). You’ll need photos of your pet from the front, side and of their full body. Since there are a lot of rules to follow, many people use a pet travel agent to make the process easier.

  • Which airport is close to the Taj Mahal?

    The Taj Mahal is in Agra, a city on the western border of Uttar Pradesh. Although Agra has its own airport, called Agra Airport (AGR) or Kheria Airport, it only offers limited domestic flights to and from other cities in India. An alternative option is to fly to New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and then hire a car to reach Agra and visit the Taj Mahal. The distance between New Delhi Airport and Agra is approximately 230 km.

  • Do I need a visa to travel to India?

    Australian citizens and permanent residents are required to apply for an electronic visa before travelling to India. Once this has been successfully completed and you have received your visa a minimum of four days before your arrival, you will be able to stay in the country for up to 60 days. Your passport must be valid for the entirety of your trip, and sometimes it may even be required to prove its validity up to 3 months after your return date.

  • I would like to visit Kaziranga National Park. Which airport should I arrive at?

    The closest airport to Kaziranga National Park is Jorhat Airport (JRH), which is approximately a 2h 30min drive away. It is also possible to fly into Tezpur Airport (TEZ) or Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU), both of which are around a 3h drive from the park.

  • What are popular stops for flights from Australia to India?

    Many flights to India departing from Australia require travellers to have a stopover, and the most popular routes include stops at the Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) and the Phuket International Airport (HKT) in Thailand, and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) in Malaysia.

  • Are there airlines that offer direct flights to India?

    It is possible to book a direct voyage if you will be departing from a major city in Australia, such as Sydney or Melbourne. For example, Air India offers several daily direct flights between these two countries, with the final destination almost always being Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL).

  • How long is the flight to India?

    An average direct flight from Australia to India takes 17h 44m, covering a distance of 15139 km. The most popular route is Melbourne - New Delhi with an average flight time of 12h 35m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to India?

  • Which airlines fly to India?

    Air India, Ethiopian Air & Qantas Airways fly the most frequently from Australia to India.

  • What are the most popular destinations in India?

    The next most popular destinations are Mumbai (10%) and Hyderabad (9%). Searches for flights to Bengaluru (Bangalore) (9%), to Ahmedabad (9%) and to Amritsar (5%) are also popular.

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

Good flight. The food was served a bit late, hence a hurry to finish before landing. Excellent crew and service

Excellent meal served with real utensils, cardboard served hot meals instead of plastic utensils and plastic covers. Quick service, friendly and accommodating stewards.

Awesome as always. I wish though the cabin for premium was upgraded.... Same old sane old :(

It was a great flight Food was great Crew was spectacular

Cabin Crew always friendly and helpful. Seating cramped - foul smelling from toilets, high risk of disease. Guard personal property such as expensive sunglasses Coffee always awful and cold Meal trays toddler sized Not worth the extra cost to fly SQ - use a budget airline, same if not better experience

Seating cramped; close to toilet, foul smelling and noisy, very unhygienic and disease risk Free and paid Wi-Fi NOT accessible at all - misleading advertising Very expensive sunglasses disappeared from back seat pouch. Coffee disgusting and cold

Every thing was fine. Some ild classical Hindi movies should be add

People were so nice! Economy seats were small and cramped feeling for me. I’m slender and 6 feet tall

A pc of cake or biscuit at least. The airport was like a maze need to take another bus to the main terminal to immigration.

Flying with Singapore airlines is always excelllent - the crew are lovely and the food too is great. It’s my number 1 airline

Extra seat belt across the chest 10 minutes before taking off and 15 minutes before landing seemed excessively safe.

The transfer from Domestic and International was a bit confusing but I am easily confused. I did not eat any food, but the food on the other leg was decent. It was nice they turned the lights off on the night flight. The plane was in good shape, but was a little cramped in economy and I am small. They gave me a customs form to fill out and nobody looked at it as I went through customs. Not a bad flight.

My case was missing a wheel on arrival Heathrow and the staff were unhelpful when i tried to get some compensation stating it was not sufficient damage, i only wish that they at some point have to deal with the same situation it put me in, maybe they would change their attitude but overall it was a good flight

We are satisfied with the cabin crew serviceand the quality of meals served.

The aircraft was really old, the staff demotivated and the overall United airline service is horrible

Increase the number of available films, including variety. All other aspects were great.

Check in was a disaster. 90 minutes and only 2 economy check in desks open. Had to rush to catch the flight.

I couldnt go on this flight and lost all my money over 1,000 UK Pounds as my visa to Myanmar was not accepted :(

Thai Airways is one of the best airlines in the business. Looking forward to fly again with them.

After going back and forth with the airline, they never reimbursed the airline tickets. Went around asking multiple people how to get reimbursed and kept getting put back, not satisfied with their customer service.

chaos boarding. Crew in business class seemed short staffed and lacking in attention to details initially, but did improve during flight.

The cabin was quite noisy as there were lots of children travelling for the school holidays. Found the selection of movies limited.

Delayed, not enough information. Had to ask for refreshments, crew could have been more proactive

Delayed for 45 minutes. Don't know what's the issue. Other than that, food was not to my satisfaction. However it's okay.

My first course flight (Aor-Kul) was cancelled in the morning, and they asked me to board the night flight hence I need to transit overnight for the 2nd flight (Kul-Myy) that supposed to be on the same day. The overnight stay was not provided, (I'm traveling with my spouse, a daughter (5 y.o.) and an infant (2 months old). Hence I booked Sama Sama Hotel at my own expense (fortunately using my enrich miles points). Other than this issue, all services is good.

My experience with the flight was okay. My experience checking in was absolutely terrible. I was told I needed to change my e-ticket number to check in because I missed my flight in PDX. Even when shown the itinerary, they didn't budge and sent me to KLM across the airport. KLM wasn't open until 8pm and my flight was at 7:30pm. Nobody made accommodations in any way to get me to KUL. To add insult to injury, they rescheduled my flight to the very next day, creating a very long layover and did not offer any hotel stay. After this, even worse, I found out later they delayed the first 7:30pm flight to 9:10pm. Meaning, I could have still boarded but they refused to even try to get me on the plane. As a result, I missed a day of work and lost pay for the day. Also, when I went to get my luggage, it wasn't there. It was STILL in Singapore. They had from 5:30pm to 5am to get my luggage onto the plane and they still couldn't get that right. This is the worst experience I've had flying anywhere in the past decade I've been travelling.

Orange juice change to mineral water . Should keep the orange juice.

Entertainment system was too old, crew were unorganised during boarding

No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed

No recognition for one World Emerald member. I got row 1 in business class and it was pathetic. No leg space, cramped space, less recline

6hrs fly they dont give you a glass of water from seoul to singapore need to buy drink and food plus they charge for bag on international fly is always Free 1 bag from seoul to singapore is Not a local fly you are traveling true asia same story from singapore to Bali no water drink after payment for bag drink cost more the regular airline Well never use this company again we use regular company like Delta korea japan China and even scoot parent company Singapore Air

We had 2 attempts to land at Singapore Changing during a thunderstorm. Everything was delayed by 1 hour plus.

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

The crew was not customer oriented at all, even confrontational . The aircraft needs more attention to detail as far as comfort, and the 1 hour sitting at the gate with no air is inexcusable

We flew on the 787 Dreamliner direct to main gate at KLIA2, quick entry via eGate and on the train 41mins after touchdown. Go well SCOOT

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

Not clear why boarding passes could only be issued at the counter and not through the kiosk. I had already check-in on the web, so waiting to obtain a boarding pass 1.5 hours before the actual flight defeats the purpose of early web check-in.

no charging point. food offering is limited and very much on the budget line. Overall is not satisfying for such a price and duration of flight.

We were delayed, but there was never any update given. Everyone was standing at the gate as boarding was supposed to commence at 13:10 for a 13:55 flight. We didn't actually start getting on the shuttles to the plane, until after 14:00. No updates, no information given at all.

Scoot refused to change my flight even though I had booked a flexible ticket. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 for a ticket that was only listed as $217. I complained about this to scoot and they didn't give a shite. So never again will you be getting money from me Scoot. You can Scoot off.

Mediocre staff, crappy food selections and no entertainment for a 14 hour flight. The only good thing was that it was a direct flight.

Not comfortable for sitting. Sits are too close to each other and it’s too hard for butt..you need to improve your entertainment section like tv programming, Movies, it’s so hard to kill 15 hrs in long flights .you don’t serve good food like other competitive airlines thats my opinion

It would have been perfect if there was onboard entertainment.

Food was unfit even for prisoners. larger front seats are terribly uncomfortable, which is ironic. Thorough need to upgrade aircraft on such a long route.

Interment is zero tv wasn’t work phone charger plug doesn’t work moves doesn’t work

Food could be better they need a better caterer in DC flight from India always has better food

Comfortable seats, on time departures and arrival, and helping staff

Everything! To start with, seats, food tray table, entertainment console all are broken! Imposing duty free baggage fees for $250 as a surprise penalty cannot be appreciated! Airlines should be responsible for transferring the checked baggages to the connecting flight. Having customer go through the transfer is painful considering the travel tiredness! No soft drinks served on flight is another crumble!

Old creaky plane, poor entertainment, USB port did not work. Food was ok.

On time boarding, proper information, friendly and cordial approach of staff, particularly crew members and the most important timely available of checked in baggage after arrival.
