Cheapest flight from Delhi to London: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Delhi to London is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our team applies on every booking:

• 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
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares

When you fill in the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Delhi to London flight first, then the alternatives.

Our booking desk then messages you on WhatsApp to check your booking: we confirm the flights available that day, the airline, the baggage included and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.

• Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class

Airlines flying from Delhi to London

On the flight from Delhi to London you can choose between British Airways, Air India and Virgin Atlantic. A full-service airline typically 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.

• British Airways - Delhi to London
• Air India - Delhi to London
• Virgin Atlantic - Delhi to London

Departure: Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL)

Your journey starts at Delhi Indira Gandhi International (DEL). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. 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.

• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
• 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 electronic ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book

Arrival: London Heathrow (LHR) and getting into London

The flight lands at London Heathrow (LHR). London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. From arrivals you have taxis, local transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Delhi to London journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many travellers continue from London to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Delhi to London flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Delhi to London. Full-service fares generally 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.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Delhi to London

Families fly the Delhi to London route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in London when you land

London is served by more airports than any city in the world: Heathrow (LHR) about 25 km west of the centre, Gatwick (LGW) about 45 km south, Stansted (STN) about 60 km north-east, Luton (LTN) about 55 km north and London City close to Canary Wharf; the West End, the City, Westminster and Kensington form the centre, with Windsor, Oxford and Cambridge within reach by road. The reasons passengers fly from Delhi to London include Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and the South Bank, Hyde Park and Harrods, the West End theatres and Windsor Castle. For the first meal, try curry on Brick Lane, Borough Market street food and fish and chips.

Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in London; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Delhi to London

Flights from Delhi to London run all year, several a day. London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from London to Delhi

Coming back? Say so on the form. A return flight ticket from London to Delhi booked with the outbound is often cheaper than two separate bookings, and it keeps the trip on one WhatsApp thread with one point of contact.

How much is a flight from Delhi to London?

"How much is the Delhi to London 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 can provide the current cost for your dates in a few minutes 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 London flight is often not the one at the top of a search.
