Looking for cheap flights from Delhi to Busan? FlightGPT compares live DEL to PUS fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

There is no direct DEL–PUS service, so you connect. Korean Air and Asiana via Seoul Incheon are the most natural choices, pairing a Delhi–Seoul leg with a 55-minute domestic flight to Gimhae or a fast KTX train. Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong and Singapore Airlines via Singapore offer one-stop alternatives, as does Thai via Bangkok. A single through-ticket means your bags travel all the way to Busan and the airline owns any misconnect.
Routing via Seoul keeps you within Korea for the final leg, which is convenient and lets you reach Busan by air or the 2.5-hour KTX bullet train if you prefer. Hong Kong and Singapore connections can price lower in promotions and place a direct flight into Gimhae. Whichever you choose, leave at least 2–3 hours to connect at Incheon if changing to a domestic flight, since you may re-clear security; an international-to-international transfer at HKG or SIN can be tighter.
Busan Gimhae International (PUS) lies about 15 km west of the city. The light-rail BGL connects to the metro, reaching Seomyeon and Haeundae in roughly 40–60 minutes for a small fare. Limousine buses run to major hotel districts in 30–50 minutes, while a taxi to Haeundae beach costs around 25,000–30,000 won and takes 30–40 minutes. Grab a rechargeable T-money card on arrival to ride the metro, buses and the BGL light rail seamlessly.
Korean Air and Asiana economy from India generally allow 1 piece up to 23 kg, while Gulf-style and Singapore/Cathay fares may use a 30 kg weight allowance — always check, since piece versus weight rules differ. On a through-ticket, the most restrictive leg can govern your free allowance, so confirm before adding shopping. Business and premium economy buy more sleep on the long sector plus extra baggage. Cheapest fares may exclude seat selection or charge for a second bag.
Busan's beaches and festivals make summer (June–August) busy and warm but humid, while the cherry blossoms of late March and April are postcard-perfect and crowded. Autumn (September–November) brings mild, clear weather and the famous film festival. Fares are softest from November to February outside the Lunar New Year window. Book Korea routes about 2–3 months ahead; blossom season and summer holidays sell out early and command premium prices.
Busan is rising fast with Indian travellers riding the K-culture wave — Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the colourful Gamcheon Culture Village, fresh seafood at Jagalchi market and the cliffside Haedong Yonggungsa temple lead most trips. It is calmer and cheaper than Seoul and pairs well as a two-city Korea itinerary via the KTX. Indian and vegetarian food is growing in the tourist zones. See our Delhi to Seoul guide to plan both cities.
