Guwahati is the Northeast's main air gateway, and Delhi is its busiest trunk route. IndiGo dominates the non-stops, with Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air adding more — together around 14-20 direct departures on a normal weekday.
Direct flights are plentiful, so there is rarely a reason to take a one-stop itinerary (typically via Kolkata) unless a connection is unusually cheap. For most travellers a non-stop is the obvious choice on this longer sector.
The distance is about 1,670 km and the non-stop flight runs roughly 2h 35m-2h 50m. This is a proper medium-haul domestic sector — long enough that seat comfort, a meal and timing matter more than on a short hop. The routing crosses the Gangetic plain; there are no terrain issues, though winter fog at Delhi is the main operational variable.
This route mixes business, student and family traffic. Fares climb around Durga Puja and Diwali, Bihu (Assamese New Year, mid-April), the winter holidays and long weekends. Because it is a longer sector, booking 3-5 weeks ahead pays off more than on a short hop.
| Period | Typical demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct-Nov (Durga Puja, Diwali) | Very high | Festival travel peaks; book well ahead |
| Apr (Bihu), Dec-Jan | High | Festival and holiday demand |
| Feb-Mar, Jul-Sep | Moderate | Steadier fares; monsoon dips in summer |
| Long weekends | High | Sharp spikes around any 3-day break |
Honest levers on a longer sector like this:
We never quote a fixed rupee fare — prices move daily. Compare live on FlightGPT.
The day starts early, around 06:20, with a strong morning bank and a steady spread through to about 21:00. A morning departure lands you in Delhi with the day still ahead — useful for onward connections. In the December-January fog season, prefer a late-morning or midday Delhi arrival, since early flights are most exposed to fog-related delays at Delhi.
Guwahati (GAU) — Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International — operates from a single integrated terminal, so departures are straightforward.
At Delhi (DEL), your terminal depends on the airline: IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1, while Air India uses Terminal 3. These are far apart, so confirm your terminal before travel — especially on the return leg, where booking the wrong terminal can cost you a long transfer.
Guwahati: the airport is about 20-25 km west of the city at Borjhar; app cabs and the airport taxi service take 45-60 minutes depending on traffic. Allow extra time during peak hours.
Delhi: the Airport Express (Orange Line) Metro serves T3, while T1 is reached by the Magenta Line metro or road. App cabs and DTC buses also serve both. Delhi traffic is heavy — budget generously, especially for an early flight.
Domestic economy typically includes 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag, though the cheapest fares may differ. On a longer route where many travellers carry more, it often pays to book a fare with a confirmed bag rather than add one later. Pre-paid excess is cheaper than at the counter. See IndiGo baggage for current rules.
Guwahati is the air hub for the entire Northeast, with onward flights to Imphal, Aizawl, Agartala, Dibrugarh, Silchar, Shillong and more. If you are flying in from one of these on a smaller aircraft to catch the Delhi service, leave a comfortable connection buffer — regional flights are more weather-dependent, and a tight transfer at Guwahati is risky during the monsoon.
Guwahati's monsoon (June-September) is heavy and can delay flights; Delhi's main hazard is winter fog (December-January), which causes cascading delays. Plan around both. Carry warm clothes if heading to Delhi in winter — it is far colder than Assam. Do web check-in on the app, carry a government photo ID, and reach the airport about 2 hours before departure.
On this 2.5-hour sector, two things matter most: book early (fares climb steeply close to departure) and watch the season — Guwahati monsoon and Delhi fog are the real delay risks, not the route itself. Compare all four airlines' live prices on FlightGPT before you commit, and double-check your Delhi terminal on the return leg.
The non-stop flight takes roughly 2 hours 35 minutes to 2 hours 50 minutes, depending on winds and the routing.
IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air all operate direct flights, with IndiGo running the most.
On a normal weekday there are roughly 14-20 non-stop departures, from an early flight around 06:20 to a late one near 21:00.
IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 3. They are far apart, so confirm your terminal before travelling, especially on the return.
Guwahati operates from a single integrated terminal, so there is no terminal to choose between for departures.
Yes — Delhi's December-January fog can cause delays and diversions, particularly on early-morning arrivals. A late-morning or midday Delhi arrival is less exposed.
Domestic economy typically allows 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag. On a longer route it often pays to book a fare with a confirmed bag rather than add one later.
Yes. Web check-in opens around 48 hours before departure on the airline app and lets you pick a seat and skip the check-in queue.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative flight, processed within the prescribed timeframe.
Yes. Guwahati is the regional hub with onward flights to Imphal, Aizawl, Agartala, Dibrugarh and more. Leave a generous buffer when connecting from a smaller regional flight.
Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or hold subject to weight limits, advance booking and health paperwork. Policies differ, so confirm directly before booking.
Infants under 2 fly on an adult's lap at a reduced fare; carry the child's age proof. On a 2.5-hour flight, request a bassinet seat in advance if available.
A valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID) is required at security and check-in. No visa or special permit is needed for this domestic route.
Both can work. Booking direct simplifies changes and refunds; OTAs sometimes bundle deals. Compare the all-in price including baggage on FlightGPT, then decide.
