Connecting the capital to most cities in the country and to numerous cities around the world, Delhi Airport is one of the busiest airports in the country. The airport is popular with local as well as international airlines, with various routes connected by multiple flights.
Some top routes from New Delhi airport are to Mumbai, Goa, Bangkok, Dubai and Toronto. Skyscanner keeps you a step ahead by letting you in on some ‘insider tips’ – tips that will tell you the cheapest day and month to fly in, the average fares, and also the best time to book your ticket to get the cheapest prices. Read on!
Route 1: New Delhi – Mumbai
Mumbai bound? If your plans are flexible, you should choose to book your tickets for a flight on Sunday, preferably in the months of April or May. Steer clear of January, which is the most popular month to travel to Mumbai in, and so the priciest. An average New Delhi to Mumbai ticket costs INR 8,627.
The best time to book your tickets to get your hands on the cheapest fares from New Delhi to Mumbai is 5 weeks in advance.
Route 2: New Delhi – Goa
If you are heading to the beaches of Goa and looking for a good deal, try focussing your search on Sunday tickets in July. It also helps that hotels in Goa offer rock bottom prices in July! January is up-season in the beach state, and so the most popular – read expensive – month for this route. The average price for a Goa ticket is INR 10,448.
The best time to book your tickets to Goa is 7 weeks prior to your departure date.
Route 3: New Delhi – Bangkok
A trip to Bangkok on the cards? Keep your shopping budget topped up by spending less on that ticket. Fly out of New Delhi on any Sunday in the month of May and you will notice that you pay about a third of what you would’ve paid if you were flying out in January. Bingo! The average price for a ticket to Bangkok is INR 21,564.
To grab this great deal, make sure you book 6 weeks in advance!
Route 4: New Delhi – Dubai
A Dubai trip is very likely to rock the budget boat, considering how expensive everything is in those labyrinthine malls. Give a boost to your budget by booking a Sunday ticket in the month of June – everything is air conditioned, so no need to sweat! December, the most popular month to head to Dubai in, is when the annual shopping festival is; but summer sales are quite a bargain too. The average price for a New Delhi – Dubai ticket is INR 17,922.
Book 7 weeks in advance for the best deal for your New Delhi to Dubai fare.
Route 5: New Delhi – Toronto
Given the duration of the flight, going to Toronto is not exactly an everyday affair. Keep it easier on the pocket by scoring cheap tickets. Since the average price for a New Delhi – Toronto ticket is INR 78,487, Sundays in the month of March are what you should be targeting. June, with great weather, is a great time to visit Toronto, but it is also the priciest month in terms of airfare.
