Hyderabad to Delhi is a high-frequency trunk route between two of India's biggest metros, so competition is strong and you are spoilt for choice. The non-stop operators in 2026 are IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, Air India Express and SpiceJet. IndiGo carries the lion's share of departures.
Note that Vistara no longer exists — it has merged into Air India, so any old listing showing a Vistara (UK) flight number is now an Air India service. Likewise, disregard any result for Go First or Jet Airways, both of which have ceased operations.
With so many carriers competing head to head, fares on this sector are among the keenest in the country. Always compare across all five airlines on your date, as the cheapest one changes frequently.
The distance is about 1,265 km and the scheduled non-stop block time is roughly 2h 10m. Real gate-to-gate times typically run 2h 5m-2h 20m depending on winds and Delhi's notoriously busy arrival sequencing.
Both cities are on IST, so there is no time-zone change — a flight leaving Hyderabad at 9:00 am lands in Delhi at about 11:10 am. The track runs north-north-west across the Deccan and central India. Almost every option is a single non-stop hop; one-stop itineraries exist but make little sense on a route this well connected.
This is a business-heavy route, so weekday demand is steady year-round, with leisure spikes around festivals and holidays. We do not quote exact rupee fares, but the demand pattern below helps you time a booking.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct-Mar (peak season) | High | Pleasant Delhi weather, festivals and weddings; book early |
| Diwali / Dussehra (Oct-Nov) | Very high | Holiday rush both ways; fares climb sharply |
| Apr-Jun (summer) | Moderate | Delhi is very hot; softer leisure fares mid-week |
| Jul-Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | Generally cheaper, occasional weather delays |
For the best price, book one to three weeks ahead on a weekday. Around Diwali and the wedding season, six weeks or more is wise.
Practical ways to cut the cost on Hyderabad-Delhi:
Compare the all-in fare including baggage and seat charges, not just the headline number.
For a same-day business trip, the first wave of flights (around 6-7 am) gets you into Delhi before mid-morning meetings, with plenty of return options up to the last departure near 10-11 pm. The 6-9 am and 5-9 pm banks are the busiest and tend to be priciest.
If you are price-led or travelling for leisure, a late-morning or early-afternoon departure is usually cheaper and the airport is calmer. The very last night flight can be the lowest fare of all, but arrives into Delhi late, so plan onward transport in advance.
Business travellers: with departures every 30-45 minutes, this is one of the easiest routes to plan around meetings. Air India offers full-service fares with lounge access at Delhi T3; IndiGo and Akasa add corporate and flexi options. Web check-in and cabin-bag-only travel save time at both ends.
Families: the 2h-plus flight is manageable with children. Book seats together early, use the calmer midday flights, and carry snacks and essentials in your cabin bag. Both airports are large, so allow extra time with kids in tow.
Students and budget travellers: IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express usually have the lowest fares. Fly mid-week, travel light, and skip seat selection to keep costs down. The last evening flight is often the cheapest of the day.
Hyderabad (HYD): Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad has a single integrated passenger terminal handling all domestic and international flights, so there is no terminal confusion at this end. It is a modern, well-signposted airport about 30 km south of the city.
Delhi (DEL): Indira Gandhi International has three terminals. IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa Air use Terminal 1 (some IndiGo flights from T2), Air India mainline uses Terminal 3, and Air India Express uses Terminal 2. Check the terminal on your boarding pass before you set off for the airport.
At Hyderabad: RGIA is roughly 30 km from the city centre. The Airport Express buses (Pushpak) and app cabs are the usual options; allow 45 minutes to over an hour from areas like HITEC City or Banjara Hills depending on traffic.
At Delhi: the Airport Express Metro reaches T3 from New Delhi station in about 20 minutes. For T1, use the Magenta Line (Terminal 1-IGI Airport station) or a cab. If you arrive and depart from different terminals, factor in the free inter-terminal shuttle, which can be slow at peak times.
Standard domestic allowance is 15 kg of check-in baggage plus one 7 kg cabin bag on most fares. The lowest IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express fares are frequently cabin-bag-only, so confirm whether check-in baggage is included before paying.
For carrier-specific rules, see the IndiGo baggage guide. Adding extra or excess baggage online in advance is always cheaper than paying at the airport counter.
Delhi's most comfortable months are October to March, though December-January mornings bring dense fog that regularly delays early arrivals and departures at IGI. If you fly then, allow buffer time and keep onward connections flexible.
Delhi summers (Apr-Jun) are scorching, often above 40°C, so carry water and plan airport transfers around the heat. The monsoon (Jul-Sep) can bring brief weather delays at either end. Hyderabad's climate is milder year-round. Whatever the season, factor Delhi's heavy traffic into your airport timing.
On a route this competitive, the smartest move is to compare all five carriers on your exact date and book a mid-week, off-peak departure. The cheapest airline genuinely changes day to day here, so loyalty to one carrier costs you money. For winter travel, avoid the very first morning flight from either city to dodge fog delays at Delhi, and remember that the last night flight is often the lowest fare if you can sort onward transport in advance.
The non-stop flight takes about 2 hours 10 minutes for the roughly 1,265 km. Gate-to-gate, expect around 2h 5m-2h 20m depending on winds and Delhi arrival traffic.
In 2026 the non-stop operators are IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, Air India Express and SpiceJet. IndiGo runs the most flights. Vistara has merged into Air India, and Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate.
Around 25 to 30 non-stop departures a day, roughly every 30-45 minutes from early morning to late night. It is one of India's busiest domestic routes.
Hyderabad has a single integrated terminal. At Delhi, IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa use Terminal 1 (some IndiGo from T2), Air India mainline uses Terminal 3, and Air India Express uses Terminal 2. Check your boarding pass.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight or you cancel within 24 hours of booking (for travel at least 7 days away), you get a full refund. Airline-caused cancellations also entitle you to an alternative flight or compensation, refunded to the original payment method.
Most domestic fares include 15 kg of check-in baggage plus a 7 kg cabin bag. The cheapest IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express fares may be cabin-bag-only, so confirm before booking. See the IndiGo baggage guide.
Yes. Web check-in usually opens 48 hours before departure and closes 1-2 hours before. It lets you choose a seat and skip the counter queue. Still arrive at least 2 hours before a domestic flight.
It can affect the Delhi end. Dense fog in December-January frequently delays early-morning arrivals and departures at IGI. Hyderabad rarely has fog. Prefer a slightly later morning flight and keep onward plans flexible in winter.
Flights operate through the monsoon, but heavy rain at either end can cause short delays, especially during Delhi's July-September spells. Build in a little buffer for tight connections.
Yes. Infants under 2 fly on an adult's lap at a nominal fare with no separate seat. Carry date-of-birth proof, and you are allowed some baby food and usually one stroller, checked in at the gate.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or as cargo with advance booking, a health certificate and an approved carrier; rules and seat limits vary. Confirm directly with your airline well ahead, as not every flight accepts pets.
Prices are usually comparable. Booking direct can simplify changes and refunds, while OTAs make it easy to compare carriers. FlightGPT shows live fares across all airlines so you can pick the cheapest genuine non-stop.
Rajiv Gandhi International is about 30 km south of central Hyderabad. Allow 45 minutes to over an hour from areas like HITEC City or Banjara Hills, using Pushpak airport buses or an app cab.
October to March is most pleasant, with cool weather and festive season around Diwali. Summers are very hot, often above 40°C, and the monsoon brings humidity and occasional delays. Winter mornings can be foggy.
Very much so. With 25-30 daily non-stops every 30-45 minutes, you can fit a same-day return around meetings. Morning and evening banks are busiest; midday flights are calmer and often cheaper.
