About this route
London to Delhi flights
London to Delhi has 5+ daily departures from Heathrow, with BA, Air India, and Virgin Atlantic all operating direct services. Most flights depart in the evening (8-10pm UK time) and land early morning in Delhi (6-8am local time). That is 12:30am to 2:30am UK time, so you are deep in sleep when they arrive.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) Terminal 3 handles all international flights. The terminal is modern and well-equipped after extensive expansion. From landing to exit is typically 30-45 minutes for passengers with valid visas. E-visa holders use dedicated immigration counters. The airport metro connects to New Delhi station in 20 minutes, running from 5am.
The 5.5-hour timezone offset (India does not observe daylight saving) means the gap is consistent year-round. Delhi arrivals at 6-8am local time are well-timed for hotel check-ins and onward domestic connections. Domestic terminals (T1 for IndiGo/SpiceJet, T2 for others) require a separate transfer by shuttle bus, taking 20-30 minutes.
Delhi's air quality can cause diversions during severe pollution events in November and December. Fog in January is another common cause of delays and diversions to Jaipur or Lucknow. Delay and diversion alerts are particularly valuable during the winter months.
