Best time to fly from Delhi to Abu Dhabi
October to April is mild and busy, with the Grand Prix in late autumn filling Yas Island; summer is very hot, and the bridges onto the island are slowest on weekday mornings and evenings. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Delhi to Abu Dhabi are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
Return flight from Abu Dhabi to Delhi
The Abu Dhabi to Delhi flight is the same route in reverse, about 3 hours 50 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.
How much is a flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi?
"How much is the Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours arranges the current cost for your dates shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight is often not the one at the top of a search.
Cheapest flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Delhi to Abu Dhabi is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are normally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi that day and what a slightly different day would cost.

Airlines flying from Delhi to Abu Dhabi
On the flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi you can choose between Etihad Airways, Air India, IndiGo and Air India Express. A full-service airline generally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.

- Air India - Delhi to Abu Dhabi
- IndiGo - Delhi to Abu Dhabi
- Air India Express - Delhi to Abu Dhabi
Departure: Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL)
Flights from Delhi to Abu Dhabi leave from Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL), serving Delhi - delhi is India's capital of Mughal monuments and the road to the Taj Mahal, with the Red Fort, Humayun's tomb and Chandni Chowk. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: The Airport Express metro reaches New Delhi Station in about 20 minutes and suits a hotel near a metro stop with a small bag; a hotel elsewhere, a family with luggage, a late-night arrival, or a long-distance destination such as Agra or Jaipur is far easier by private car from the terminal.
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
- Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in Delhi to Delhi Indira Gandhi International
Arrival: Zayed International Airport (AUH) and getting into Abu Dhabi
You arrive at Zayed International Airport (AUH). Abu Dhabi has no metro; public buses run from the airport to the city centre on a long route with many stops, so nearly every visitor takes a car - the airport-to-island drive is a straight motorway. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Abu Dhabi, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight
Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Delhi to Abu Dhabi
Three things to know about the flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and usually a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free. Groups get seats together and, on many airlines, a group rate. Tell us the numbers and we handle the rest, including the transfer with enough room for everyone.
Things to do in Abu Dhabi when you land
Abu Dhabi is the UAE capital, an island city of wide boulevards and the Corniche, with Zayed International Airport (AUH) about 30 km east of the centre on the mainland, Yas Island's theme parks close to the airport and Saadiyat's museums and beaches between the two. The reasons travellers fly from Delhi to Abu Dhabi include the Corniche beach, Emirates Palace, Yas Marina Circuit, the Heritage Village and Marina Mall and Warner Bros. World. For the first meal, try Emirati harees and machboos, seafood at the Mina fish market and Lebanese grills on the Corniche.

Which airport do I fly from in Delhi?
Departures are from Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your accommodation to the airport.
When is the best time to book the Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight?
As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
Is baggage included in the Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The airline rebooks you and, depending on the rules that apply, may owe assistance or compensation; our WhatsApp desk helps you through it. If you have a transfer booked with us the driver tracks the flight.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Yes, at their own fares: infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced rate, children from two need a seat and typically pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply them.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
Yes, absolutely. Haqqi Tours arranges flight tickets on any route; Abu Dhabi to Delhi and onward flights from Abu Dhabi can all go on the same booking.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Space, food and flexibility: business class adds a bigger seat, a meal, lounge access and priority boarding, and normally a more flexible ticket. We send the cost of both so you can decide.
What is the cheapest flight from Delhi to Abu Dhabi?
Normally a mid-week departure booked well ahead, on whichever airline has the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Give us flexible dates on the form and we search the cheapest Delhi to Abu Dhabi flight across all of them.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest typically cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Are there direct flights from Delhi to Abu Dhabi?
Certainly. Etihad Airways, Air India, IndiGo and Air India Express operate non-stop flights from Delhi to Abu Dhabi several a day, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
How early should I be at Delhi Indira Gandhi International?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
