London to Amritsar
Alongside Birmingham, Air India also runs a direct Gatwick–Amritsar service — worth comparing against the Birmingham route on whichever specific dates and times suit your trip, since the two don't always run on the same days of the week.

The detail that matters when this is a family trip, not a holiday
How this trip usually works
Amritsar is the most direct route for the UK's Punjabi diaspora visiting family or attending religious occasions — trips often combine a family stay with a Golden Temple visit, and timing around Baisakhi or Diwali is common.
Documents & entry
OCI cardholders do not require a separate visa; other UK passport holders need the standard e-Visa, applied for at least 4 days ahead.
Baggage & packing
Air India's direct Amritsar services run at reduced midweek frequency rather than daily — confirm specific flight days before assuming a non-stop option exists on your preferred date.
When demand peaks
Book 2–3 months ahead of these windows where dates are fixed
Visa and identity document requirements change — always confirm directly with the relevant high commission, embassy, or NADRA/OCI portal before booking, rather than relying on a previous trip.
Other UK airports for Amritsar
