Bhopal to Delhi is a busy, well-served non-stop sector. The two carriers flying it daily in 2026 are IndiGo and Air India, between them offering around 5–7 non-stops a day spread from early morning to night.
You may see other carriers dip in and out of the schedule seasonally, but IndiGo and Air India are the reliable year-round operators. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct; Vistara has merged into Air India, so its old flights now show as Air India.
The distance is about 700 km and the non-stop block time runs roughly 1h 25m to 1h 35m. It's a straightforward short-haul hop north from Madhya Pradesh's capital to the national capital, with no hub change needed.
There's no reason to take a 1-stop itinerary here — non-stops are frequent and cheap. If a fare site pushes a connection, it's almost always slower and rarely cheaper. Stick to the non-stop.
With several non-stops a day, fares are competitive but still rise around peaks. Book 2–3 weeks ahead for the best prices; sooner around Diwali and the winter wedding-and-holiday season.
| Season | Demand | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Diwali & Dussehra (Oct–Nov) | High | Book 4–5 weeks out; heavy festival travel to Delhi. |
| Winter weddings & Christmas–New Year | High | Delhi-bound demand peaks; lock in early. |
| Summer holidays (Apr–Jun) | Moderate | Mid-week morning flights are cheapest. |
| Monsoon (Jul–Sep) | Low–Moderate | Good value; minor weather delays possible at Delhi. |
| Jan–Feb (after the holidays) | Low | Best fares, though Delhi fog can disrupt mornings. |
Fares climb around Diwali, the winter wedding season and Christmas–New Year. There's no reliable 'cheapest day', but mid-week (Tue/Wed) flights typically beat weekend ones.
The schedule spans the day, so you can pick by price and convenience.
If you're catching an international flight out of Delhi T3, take a morning non-stop and leave a generous transfer buffer.
Business travellers: IndiGo's frequency keeps your day flexible; Air India suits you if you want a full-service cabin or onward international links from T3. A morning flight maximises meeting time in Delhi.
Families: Pick a mid-morning or midday non-stop to avoid pre-dawn starts with children. Pre-book seats together and pre-pay bags. Infants under two travel on a lap at a nominal fare.
Students: Don't expect a true student fare — Indian LCCs rarely offer one. Save by booking 2–3 weeks ahead, flying mid-week, packing cabin-only and comparing on FlightGPT.
Bhopal — Raja Bhoj Airport (BHO): a single integrated terminal about 15 km north-west of the city. It's compact and easy; arrive about 90 minutes to 2 hours ahead.
Delhi — Indira Gandhi International (DEL): a large three-terminal airport. IndiGo uses Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 3, with some Air India domestic flights now operating from Terminal 2. International departures are from T3.
Check your terminal on your boarding pass or the airline app — at Delhi, getting this wrong can cost you valuable time, as the terminals are far apart.
In Bhopal: Raja Bhoj airport is about 15 km from the centre. App cabs (Ola/Uber), prepaid taxis and autos serve it; budget 30–45 minutes from the city.
In Delhi: the Delhi Metro Airport Express (Orange Line) links T3 (Airport station) with New Delhi station in about 20 minutes; T1 connects via the Magenta Line and a shuttle. App cabs and prepaid taxis are plentiful. Allow extra time in peak traffic and for the free inter-terminal shuttle if you need to switch terminals.
Domestic economy is 15 kg checked + 7 kg cabin on both IndiGo and Air India. The lowest 'lite' fares may bundle only cabin baggage, with checked allowance sold separately — read the fare rules.
Pre-paying excess online is much cheaper than at the airport counter.
The main operational risk on this route is Delhi winter fog.
Watch the Delhi terminal split on Bhopal–Delhi: IndiGo lands at T1 and Air India at T3 (with some domestic at T2). If you're connecting to an international flight, an Air India arrival into T3 means no terminal change, while an IndiGo arrival at T1 requires the inter-terminal shuttle to T3 — factor 60–90 minutes for that transfer, more in winter-fog season.
IndiGo and Air India both operate daily non-stops. IndiGo is the most frequent; Air India offers a full-service option. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
A non-stop takes about 1h 25m to 1h 35m for roughly 700 km. There's no reason to take a slower 1-stop on this sector.
Around 5–7 non-stops a day between IndiGo and Air India, spread from early morning to night.
January–February and mid-week off-season flights are cheapest. Fares climb around Diwali, the winter wedding season and Christmas–New Year. Book 2–3 weeks ahead.
IndiGo uses Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 3, with some Air India domestic flights now from Terminal 2. International departures are from T3. Check your boarding pass, as the terminals are far apart.
Domestic economy is 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on both airlines. The lowest 'lite' fares may include cabin baggage only — check before booking and pre-pay extras online.
Yes. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on both IndiGo and Air India, letting you choose a seat and skip the counter if travelling cabin-bag-only.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels or significantly reschedules, you're entitled to a full refund or free re-accommodation, plus compensation in some cases. For your own cancellation, taxes and most statutory fees are refundable even on non-refundable fares.
December–January fog regularly delays Delhi arrivals and departures, mostly in the early morning. If you have a tight onward connection in winter, avoid the earliest flight or build in a generous buffer.
IndiGo does not accept pets on most flights, while Air India allows pets in cabin or hold subject to limits and advance approval. Confirm directly with your airline before booking.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a small nominal fare plus taxes; they don't get a separate seat or full baggage allowance.
The first morning flight is usually cheapest and most punctual and best for same-day onward connections — but in winter, very early Delhi arrivals risk fog delays, so weigh that against your schedule.
Yes. International flights leave from T3. If you arrive on Air India at T3 there's no terminal change; if you arrive on IndiGo at T1, allow 60–90 minutes for the inter-terminal shuttle to T3, more in fog season.
Compare on FlightGPT, then book directly with the airline. Direct bookings give the cleanest change, cancellation and refund handling, and easier rebooking if Delhi fog disrupts your flight.
