FAQs - booking India flights

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Australia to India?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Australia to India.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Australia to India?

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Australia to India?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from Australia to India with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Australia to India?

No frills airline with minimal leg room and no entertainment

The crew was very courteous and professional. the flight is relatively clean and comfortable.

Pleasant business class flight experience with good onboarding experience. Flight service team was excellent with usual book-the-chef menu available

Wish the underseat compartment don’t have a restriction, can fit a personal item such as backpack fully like most Boeing

I have difficulties to book wheelchair for my parents returned flight

I was in a middle seat where I felt a bit too cramped otherwise the trip was good

Lounge a access was excellent as was the attentiveness and service from the crew as always. The food and drink supplied were of good quality. The entertainment system had a good selection and I liked the mapping system supplied. However the screen wild have been bigger and the operation a little smoother to navigate. The seats were barely comfortable, but adequate.

Headwind delayed our flight which wasn’t the airlines fault

Good service and food. For buying items on flight should be preordered as they don’t keep much stock on board.

Horrendous. We upgraded and they took the money but cancelled one of our tickets. The recline action didn’t work on the seats for the flight from Singapore to London, pre booked meals but they seemed to have disappeared as well.. Phone customer service was horrendous. Took 5 phone calls and no fix. Craig at the airport was the only one who seemed to be able to get the ticket back.

business class is old but still done very well by the team.

Excellent airline. The plane was clean and the staff were very attentive

Good experience although the boarding gate is at the terminal extension hence need to leave lounge to head over earlier.

Thai Royal First is very good. Easy check in , Private room in the first class lounge and escort from ticketing to the plane. Once on board crew was very polite, food was outstanding, and the ride was smooth as silk. Restrooms were especially clean. Great Experience

I'm not interested in improving the airline. Therefore, I won't explain this in more detail. Next time I'll try a different one.

The flight (boarding) was delayed by 40-50 minutes and there was very crowed. They need to improve on the timeliness & boarding process. (They asked passenger to board in groups, but the 2nd group was standing there waiting for 20 minutes!). However, services from the crew was very good, also the food was good as well. I also found the legroom was quite comfortable.

Need to improve on punctuality. My flight was delayed by 1 hour.

Seats were uncomfortable and the vegetarian meal was awful. Some of the entertainment didn't work.

Except that our flight was cancelled, by mail, and later moved to 12 hours prior, then the experience was good. In Bangkok we were offered a hotel, it was fine, but would have been nice to know in advance😉

The flight was mostly fine, but I really wished that seats had an outlet to charge devices considering the length of the flight (15 hours there and 14 hours back).

The crew were wonderful - if only the customers were as well behaved as the attendants!! Ha ha! If you could just talk to God and ask for less turbulence next time.... Juuuuust kidding....

Flight was canceled. I was not alerted. It was only kayak that alerted me

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

Excellent as always, I won't fly to Australia, and back to the US on any other airline. The flight crew is always top notch, and have a way to make one feel extra special. Thank you for your service, I would rate Qantas Airways a 10+.

Basic airline, aircraft and service. AA gets you from point A to B. My flight was delayed by 2 hours too.

No internet on flight, which makes log travels really hard.

Not great. The inflight entertainment was all on an app, and I did not want to watch a film on my phone. Also, the range of options of films was limited.

by the time they got to our row, they were out of some of the food options. games and movies were great but maybe more game options like tetris or pac man would be great

A few more inches of legroom is all i ask

Great as usual, some delays but well communicated and made up for in the air

Overall experience is good but if the food menu can change to authentic Malaysia food will be good. I.e. Nasi Lemak, Char Kueh Tiew and etc

Surprised that the safety briefing was only conducted in Malay language and no English despite there are foreigners on board. MH should take safety more seriously.

Flights were delayed, Food was good but only 1 meal instead of 2.

Food was good but only 1 meal and 1 pie, instead of 2 meals. Both legs were late.

We are row 11, when the crew came to us, only one meal choice was available.

OK seats comfortable, easy boarding/embarking, excellent connection to domestic Malaysia flight with baggage checked through without customs. Catering especially drinks borderline ok luckily less important aspect

Comfortable seats in economy, managed a few hours sleep in an o night flight but the food was terrible. Surprising as Malaysia airlines has been good in the past. Service was mediocre this time too.

Vast improvement needed in customer service. I couldn’t get the drink of my choice during both meals (i.e. sparking water and Diet Coke). I had used plastic cups falling onto me from the tray. No eye contact when they thank you on the way out signalling an insincere thank you.

Jia yung was the flight attendant that made this a miserable flight.

The flight isn’t great, as the plane has faulty with light and noise. It blinks and make noise for 8hrs non stop! Causing health and sensory issues! Causing Hazard matter to all 3 babies that on bassinet seats. This matters affected 12 passengers and the most horrible flight I ever experience. Have been flying with MAS for more 30yrs and this is the worst! Very disappointed

Flight was cancelled by air India. There was no explanation provided why the flight was cancelled. Found out that the flight was cancelled because the Iran air space was closed. Meanwhile, all other flights passing through that region were operating without issues. When asked to refund money for the tickets, being told that “ As checked, we wish to share that Flight AI 116 on 15 January 2026 from New York to Mumbai was cancelled due to Iran airspace closure, which were beyond the airline’s control. While such events can disrupt travel plans, we appreciate your understanding and patience. Our team remains committed to ensuring the safety and comfort of all passengers and takes all necessary measures to minimize any issues. However, we must inform you that compensation is not applicable under these extraordinary circumstances, in accordance with the relevant regulations.” Completed unacceptable and unprofessional behavior!

The flight was on time, the entire experience was very smooth. The Flight crew were incredibly professional and nice. Made us feel very comfortable

Very old aircraft. Business class seats don’t work right. No way to get out my tray table. Crew didn’t seem surprised about the aircraft and didn’t have any real answers. Old 777 seems to not have been updated ever.

They rescheduled flight..no customer care to even reach or accommodate

Bad weather in Amritsar cancelled the flight while we were at the gate in Delhi but the ground crew took good care of us and exceeded our expectations. Once on the plane, we enjoyed the best experience we’ve had on any flight in years. Their customer support was also impressively quick to answer and immediately helpful.

Unnecessary delays & Gate changes, so much inconvenience after 15-16 hours flight

Needs lots of improvement starting from crew/staff attitude, cleanliness, better quality food & in flight amenities.

Old and filthy aircraft Boarding was free for all with no zones

Very old and ill maintained flights. Seats didn’t have proper cushioning. The entertainment system was a joke. That’s the least one can expect from a 19 hour long flight.

Flight was delayed in phases from 84ppm to 2am. And at 2am it was cancelled. Only refund option provided and no stay was provided. Poor communication throughout and shameless behaviour from the airline with no regard for seniors citizens and those travelling with children.
