Airlines flying Chandigarh to Delhi
IndiGo runs the most non-stop departures on this short sector, with Air India and Alliance Air adding flights, some on ATR turboprops. Block time is barely ≈ 50 minutes — the aircraft has scarcely climbed before it begins its descent into Delhi. Roughly ≈ 6–10 non-stops operate daily, though frequency is modest because the road and rail options are so competitive on a ≈ 250 km route.
Cheapest time to fly and book
Fares on this short hop are usually low year-round, but the winter wedding and festive season (October–January) can push prices up, and Delhi's December fog frequently delays or cancels short flights. The monsoon and summer months see softer pricing. Since the sector is so short, booking even 1–2 weeks ahead often secures a reasonable fare — last-minute prices can spike sharply, though.
Flight duration and routing
The non-stop covers ≈ 250 km in just ≈ 50 minutes to an hour. However, when you add airport check-in, security and the ≈ 1h drive from central Delhi to IGI, total door-to-door time approaches that of road. Many travellers therefore choose the ≈ 4–5h drive or a Shatabdi train instead. Flying makes most sense when you have an onward connection at Delhi's airport.
Baggage and fares
Low-cost carriers include 15 kg checked baggage on standard domestic economy; Air India allows 25 kg. ATR turboprop services may have tighter cabin-baggage limits, so check your fare rules. Given the short distance, fares are among the most affordable in the network. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Airports and terminals
Chandigarh Airport (IXC) operates from a single modern terminal ≈ 11 km from the city centre, shared with an air force station. Indira Gandhi International (DEL) is large — domestic flights use Terminal 1, 2 or 3 depending on the airline; IndiGo and Air India often use T3 or T2. IGI is ≈ 16 km southwest of central Delhi. Confirm your terminal on the ticket.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic flight — no passport or visa is required. Carry a government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence or passport. DigiYatra is available at both IXC and Delhi for faster paperless boarding through the gates.
