Cheapest time to fly Lucknow to Delhi
Fares on this shuttle route stay competitive year-round due to high frequency and multiple carriers. Still, the monsoon months (July–September) and post-Diwali lull in November tend to bring the lowest prices. Booking ≈ 2–4 weeks ahead is usually sufficient for a good deal. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are consistently cheaper than Friday or Sunday evening flights, which fill up with weekend commuters.
Flight duration and routing
Every Lucknow to Delhi flight is non-stop — the distance is too short for 1-stop routings to make commercial sense. Expect ≈ 1h 10m in the air, though boarding and taxiing add another 30–40 minutes to your door-to-gate time. Turboprop ATR 72 services operate alongside A320 jets; the ATR is marginally slower but perfectly comfortable for such a brief hop.
Baggage and fares
IndiGo and SpiceJet include 15 kg of checked baggage on standard domestic fares, while Air India and Vistara offer 25 kg in economy. Cabin baggage across all carriers is capped at 7 kg. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026. On a route this short, the fare gap between low-cost and full-service is often under ₹500, so factor in baggage needs before picking the cheapest headline price.
Airports and terminals
Flights depart from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO), Lucknow's single-terminal facility located ≈ 14 km from Hazratganj. In Delhi, your arrival terminal depends on the airline — IndiGo typically uses T1 or T2, while Air India and Vistara land at T3. Always confirm the terminal on your boarding pass, especially if you have an onward connection from Delhi.
