Travel notes

Plan around Diwali and the December–January window

Diwali and the Christmas–New Year period are popular times to travel to India, so check dated fares for your own dates early. JetStash tracks dated fare observations, not a seasonal price pattern. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.

Direct Amritsar flights: verified from Birmingham

Air India's direct Amritsar service from Birmingham is verified on JetStash, with the check date on each route guide. Don't assume a direct service runs every day, so confirm the exact flight date before booking. Other UK airports may need a connection.

Check current status before booking Manchester's Delhi and Mumbai services

The former Manchester–Delhi and Manchester–Mumbai IndiGo direct services have ended. Check the Route Status panel on each route guide for current options before booking.

Domestic onward connections add up

If your final destination is outside Delhi, Mumbai or Ahmedabad themselves, factor in the cost and time of a domestic Indian flight or long train journey. It can shift which UK departure airport makes most sense.

Visa & entry requirements

UK passport holders require a visa for India. The e-Visa (tourist or business) is processed online and should be applied for at least 4 days before travel, though earlier is recommended during busy periods. Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholders do not require a separate visa.

Requirements change. Always confirm directly with the relevant embassy, high commission, or an authorised visa service before booking.
