Delhi to Amritsar is a short, busy domestic hop served almost entirely by non-stop flights. IndiGo runs the most departures, with Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet adding several more between them. On a typical day you'll find roughly 15–20 non-stop services, so missing one rarely means a long wait for the next.
Because the sector is so short, every sensible option is non-stop — you should not need a connection. If a booking site shows a one-stop itinerary via another city, it is almost always slower and dearer than simply waiting for the next direct flight.
The straight-line distance is about 405 km and scheduled non-stop time is roughly 1h 10m gate to gate. Actual airborne time is closer to 50–55 minutes; the rest is taxiing and queueing for the runway at Delhi, which is one of India's busiest airports.
Both cities are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no time difference to adjust for. Northbound flights track over Haryana and Punjab, and on a clear winter morning the descent into Amritsar gives good views of the surrounding farmland.
Fares on this route swing with Punjab's travel calendar — festival weeks, the wedding season and school holidays push prices up, while ordinary weekdays stay cheap. As a rough guide to relative demand through the year:
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (peak season) | High | Pleasant weather plus Diwali, Guru Nanak Jayanti and wedding-season crowds; book early |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Medium | Hot in Punjab; fares ease except around school holidays |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Low–Medium | Generally the cheapest fares; watch for Delhi monsoon delays |
| Baisakhi (mid-Apr) | High | Major Punjabi festival; seats fill weeks ahead |
For the lowest fares, aim to book two to six weeks out and keep your dates flexible by a day or two.
A few habits reliably cut the cost on a short route like this:
We never quote a guaranteed rupee fare here — prices move daily — but the route is short and competitive, so genuine bargains appear often.
Early-morning flights (before 9am) tend to be the most punctual, leaving before Delhi's afternoon congestion and any monsoon build-up. They are also handy if you want a full day in Amritsar for the Golden Temple and a Wagah border visit.
Evening departures suit travellers finishing a Delhi work day, but in December and January early-morning Delhi flights face fog delays — see the weather note below. If fog season worries you, a mid-morning slot (10am–noon) is often the safest compromise.
Business travellers: the early-morning and early-evening banks make a same-day return feasible. Pick a fare with free web check-in and travel hand-baggage-only to clear Amritsar's compact terminal quickly.
Families and pilgrims: mid-morning departures are calmest with children and elderly relatives, and Amritsar's single terminal is easy to navigate. Pre-book seats together, as this route fills around festivals.
Students: the cheapest seats are usually mid-week IndiGo or SpiceJet departures booked a few weeks out. There is no special student fare, so flexible dates matter more than any discount code.
At Delhi (DEL), IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet depart from Terminal 1, while Air India uses Terminal 3. T1 and T3 are several kilometres apart with no airside link, so always check which terminal your flight uses before setting off — a free DIAL shuttle connects them but allow time.
Amritsar (ATQ) — Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International — has a single integrated terminal handling both domestic and international flights, so arrivals and departures are straightforward.
In Delhi, the Airport Express Metro serves T3 directly; for T1, take the Magenta Line to Terminal 1–IGI Airport station. App cabs and the DTC airport buses also serve both terminals, but allow extra time during peak hours.
Amritsar airport sits about 11 km north-west of the city centre and roughly 13 km from the Golden Temple. Pre-paid taxis and app cabs are the easiest option; the drive into town takes 25–40 minutes depending on traffic.
On domestic fares each airline now sells baggage as part of the fare class. As a general rule the lowest fares include 7 kg cabin baggage and 15 kg check-in, but light 'hand-baggage-only' fares may include no free check-in bag — confirm before you pay. Full details are on each carrier's page: IndiGo baggage, Air India baggage, Akasa Air baggage and SpiceJet baggage.
Amritsar's best weather runs October to March, when days are pleasant and evenings cool — pack warm layers for December and January. Summers (April–June) are hot and dry, often above 40°C.
The single biggest disruption risk is winter fog in Delhi (mid-December to late January), which can delay or divert early-morning flights at both ends. If you travel in that window, keep buffer time around onward connections and check your flight status before leaving for the airport.
Use FlightGPT to compare every IndiGo, Air India, Akasa and SpiceJet departure on one screen, then book direct with the airline for the cleanest experience with web check-in, changes and refunds. On such a short, frequent route a small date or time tweak often saves more than any coupon.
Non-stop flights take about 1h 10m gate to gate, with roughly 50–55 minutes actually in the air. The rest is taxi and runway-queue time at Delhi.
IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet all operate non-stop. IndiGo runs the most departures. (Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India.)
Typically around 15–20 non-stop departures a day, spread from early morning to late evening, so there is usually a flight within an hour or two of when you want to travel.
IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 3. Always check your e-ticket, as T1 and T3 are far apart with no airside connection.
Amritsar (Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International, ATQ) has a single integrated terminal for both domestic and international flights.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight or you cancel within 24 hours of booking (for travel 7+ days away), you are entitled to a full refund including statutory taxes. Airlines must refund within set timelines, and alternative arrangements or compensation may apply for airline-caused cancellations.
Most domestic fares include 7 kg cabin baggage and 15 kg check-in, but the cheapest 'hand-baggage-only' fares may exclude a free check-in bag. Check your fare class before paying — see our IndiGo, Air India, Akasa and SpiceJet baggage pages.
Web check-in usually opens 48 hours before departure on IndiGo, Air India, Akasa and SpiceJet and closes 1–2 hours before. Doing it online lets you pick a seat and skip the airport check-in queue.
Possibly. Delhi sees dense fog from mid-December to late January, which can delay or divert early-morning flights. Keep buffer time and check your flight status before leaving for the airport.
Heavy monsoon rain (July–September) can cause delays at Delhi, but Punjab itself is rarely badly affected. Non-stop flight times are unchanged; allow a little extra buffer in peak monsoon.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic flights, subject to weight limits, carrier rules and advance booking. Policies differ by airline and seats are limited, so contact the airline well ahead — do not assume it's allowed.
Infants under two travel on a parent's lap for a nominal fare (no separate seat) and are not counted in the free baggage allowance the same way. Carry the child's date-of-birth proof for check-in.
Fares are usually similar, but booking direct with the airline makes changes, cancellations and refunds simpler. FlightGPT compares prices across sources, then lets you book direct.
For a domestic flight, arrive about two hours before departure — Delhi T1 and T3 can get busy. Amritsar's single terminal is compact, so 90 minutes to two hours is comfortable for the return.
No. Delhi to Amritsar is a domestic flight within India, so no visa or special permit is required — just a valid government photo ID for security and check-in.
