For wider schedule flexibility, 1-stop connections via Dubai (Emirates/flydubai), Abu Dhabi (Etihad) or Doha (Qatar Airways) are available but add 3–5 hours. Saudia and flynas also serve the route with connections through Jeddah. Book end-to-end for baggage protection.

Vegetarian and halal meal options are available. Seat selection is a paid add-on on the cheapest IndiGo fare buckets. Compare total cost including baggage allowance, not just headline fare.
