Amritsar to Guwahati is one of the longer domestic corridors, linking the far north-west to the north-east. A non-stop does operate on the route, but it is limited and can vary by season, so the majority of travellers fly one-stop through Delhi: Amritsar (ATQ) to Delhi (DEL), then Delhi to Guwahati (GAU). Both legs are well served.
IndiGo runs the densest schedule, with Air India and Air India Express also present. Go First and Jet Airways have closed, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any older listings showing them.
The straight-line distance is roughly 1,750 km — a genuine cross-country hop. A non-stop covers it in about 3 hours. A via-Delhi connection runs to around 4h 15m at best and often longer once you add a real layover, because Delhi sits roughly on the way but the stop itself eats time.
If a non-stop is bookable on your dates, it is usually worth a small premium: it removes the Delhi connection and the risk of a missed link on a long travel day.
Both ends have clear seasons. Amritsar and the north are pleasant October–March and hot May–June; Guwahati is best in the cooler, drier winter and sees heavy monsoon June–September that can disrupt north-east flights. Festival peaks — Baisakhi and the Golden Temple pilgrimage flows at Amritsar, Bihu and Durga Puja in the north-east — lift fares.
| Period | Demand | Fare pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (winter/festive) | High | Elevated — book 3–5 weeks out |
| Apr–May | Moderate | Steady, softer mid-week |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest, but disruption risk in the north-east |
We don't quote fixed rupee fares — they move daily. Check live prices on FlightGPT.
On a non-stop, a morning departure gets you to Guwahati with the day intact for onward north-east travel. On a via-Delhi connection, leave at least 1.5–2 hours at Delhi; winter fog there can collapse a tight layover. Avoid the day's last connection — a missed evening link can mean an unplanned night in Delhi.
Business travellers: take a non-stop if it runs; otherwise a morning via-Delhi connection with a generous layover protects your schedule on this long sector.
Families: a non-stop is much easier with children over three hours-plus of flying. If connecting, the longer Delhi layover gives time to regroup and feed everyone.
Students and budget travellers: monsoon-season, mid-week, via-Delhi fares booked a few weeks out are usually cheapest. Pack light to keep the total down.
Amritsar's Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) operates from a single terminal handling domestic and international flights. Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) has an integrated terminal and is the busiest in the north-east. At Delhi, your connection point, IndiGo and Air India Express use Terminal 1 or 2 while Air India is at Terminal 3 — a carrier change at Delhi can mean a terminal transfer, so allow extra time.
Amritsar Airport is about 11 km north-west of the city and the Golden Temple; cabs and autos are the practical options. Guwahati's airport sits around 20 km west of the city centre at Borjhar, roughly a 45–60 minute drive depending on traffic; pre-paid taxis and app-cabs are available, and it is the standard launch point for onward travel across Assam and the north-east.
Domestic economy on IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express typically gives 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, varying by fare. On a via-Delhi connection a single through-ticket keeps one baggage rule end-to-end; separate tickets can mean paying twice and re-checking at Delhi. Over a 3-hour-plus journey, carry water, snacks and a layer — north-east mornings can be cool. See IndiGo baggage for current allowances.
Guwahati is the hub for the entire north-east. From here you can reach Shillong (about 3 hours by road), Kaziranga, Tawang, and onward flights or trains across the seven sister states. Note that some north-eastern states (such as Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur) require an Inner Line Permit for Indian visitors — arrange it online or on arrival before you head beyond Assam.
On this long Amritsar–Guwahati corridor, check whether a non-stop operates on your exact date before booking a via-Delhi connection — it can save you a Delhi layover and the fog risk for a small premium. FlightGPT lays out direct and connecting options together, with both prices per flight, so you can balance time and cost in one place.
A non-stop does operate but it is limited and seasonal, so on many dates only via-Delhi connections are available. Always check your specific travel date.
A non-stop takes about 3 hours. A via-Delhi connection runs roughly 4h 15m at best and often longer once you add a realistic layover.
IndiGo runs the densest schedule, with Air India and Air India Express also present. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate and Vistara has merged into Air India.

Typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin in domestic economy on IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express, varying by fare. See the IndiGo baggage page for specifics.
Usually from 48 hours before departure, closing 1–2 hours prior. On a connection, do both legs early so you can keep your seats together.
The north-east monsoon (June–September) can disrupt Guwahati, and winter fog at Delhi can wreck tight connections. Build buffer time and avoid the last connection of the day.
Guwahati and Assam need no permit, but some north-eastern states such as Arunachal, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur require an Inner Line Permit for Indian visitors. Arrange it before you go.
IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express allow pets on domestic flights subject to advance approval, container rules and fees. Confirm directly with the airline before travel.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a nominal fare without their own seat. Carry the infant's age proof.
Direct booking can simplify changes, while OTAs sometimes show lower prices. FlightGPT shows both prices for the same flight so you can pick the cheaper option.
On this long route, usually yes. A non-stop removes the Delhi connection and the fog/misconnection risk on a long travel day, which is worth a modest premium for most.
Guwahati's airport is about 20 km west at Borjhar, a 45–60 minute drive. Pre-paid taxis and app-cabs are available, and it is the gateway for onward north-east travel.
