Birmingham to Delhi
Air India's Birmingham to Delhi service is a connecting tag-flight via Amritsar, not a nonstop service — Air India's own current schedule names AI118 as routing via Amritsar (ATQ) on its way to Delhi, the same pattern Birmingham Airport's own 2019 announcement described. Check the live itinerary directly with Air India for your own dates and the current stop pattern before booking.

When to book this route
Because this is a connecting route, compare the full itinerary Air India actually offers for your dates rather than a headline duration. Diwali and the December-January window are the periods most likely to move demand and fares on any India route regardless.
Demand — and often price — tends to build in the final 3–4 weeks before these periods. Consider booking earlier if your dates are fixed. Planning guidance, not a fare prediction.
Other UK airports for Delhi
If more than one airport is realistically within reach, comparing the total journey, not just the headline fare, is usually worth the extra few minutes.

Traveller tips for this route
OCI cardholders skip the e-Visa; others should apply early
OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) cardholders do not require a separate visa. Other UK passport holders need the standard e-Tourist or e-Business visa: apply at least 4 days ahead, earlier still during Diwali or December.
Domestic Indian flight baggage allowances are often stricter
If your onward journey involves a domestic Indian flight, check the domestic baggage allowance separately from your international one. The two are frequently different, and it catches travellers out.
