Delhi Flights

To the uninitiated, Delhi may appear to be disorganized, congested, and downright daunting. It is important to remember, however, that first appearances can be deceptive.
Although this ancient city is certainly busy, it is also filled with enough warm citizens, rich culture, and amazing historical value that it has quickly become a spot where tourists come again and again.
Finding cheap flights to Delhi is easy, which is important, as you will want to spend your money on the fantastic cuisine at Bengali Market, the unique wares at Connaught Place, and the cultural delights of the Crafts Museum.

Best time to travel to Delhi

Peak Season:

Visitors love the months of November through to March, as this period is pleasantly cool and mild. Considering the climate, this is an excellent time to see one of the many outdoor attractions and celebrations, such as the India Gate and the Iron Pillar, the Lohri festival in January at the Holi festival in March.

Shoulder Season:

The prices of accommodation and flights to Delhi drop in October and September. Tourists thin out during these months, making them great for visiting such popular spots as the Qutub complex, Nehru Park, and Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple. These months are also excellent for mingling with other stray tourists and locals at the Aap ki Pasand Tea Shop or Shalom Med Lounge Bar.

Off Season:

Flights are at their cheapest from April to August, as most tourists prefer to stay away from the city in order to avoid the extreme heat. If your itinerary consists of mostly indoor activities, this is a good time to visit, as such attractions as the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art and Dhyan Foundation are far less crowded.

How to survive the flight to Delhi?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Delhi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There’s plenty you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Delhi?
Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Delhi a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp or pointed items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
