Surat to Delhi is a well-served non-stop sector. IndiGo runs the most frequencies, with Air India and Air India Express adding further non-stops across the day. Between them you typically have 4-6 non-stop departures, so you rarely need a connection.
Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard any old listings under those names. Air India Express is the group's low-cost arm and flies Boeing 737-800s on this route.
The non-stop covers roughly 935 km in about 1h 50m block time. Pure flying time can be shorter, but the figure you should plan around includes taxi and Delhi's often busy arrival sequencing. With several non-stops daily, a connection makes little sense here — it would only add hours.
This is a mixed business-and-leisure route, so weekday peaks and the winter Delhi season drive prices. Book ahead for October-February and festival periods; the monsoon and high summer are softer.
| Period | Demand | Fare pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Oct-Feb (Delhi winter, weddings) | High | Highest — book 3-6 weeks ahead |
| Mar-May (summer) | Moderate | Mid |
| Jun-Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Softer fares |
| Festival & long weekends | High | Spikes — book early |
Fares are generally lower midweek (Tuesday/Wednesday) than on Friday and Sunday.
Practical ways to pay less Surat to Delhi:
With 4-6 non-stops, you have real choice. Early-morning departures usually arrive in Delhi before the worst congestion and tend to be cheaper. Mid-day flights are often the quietest. Evening departures suit a full day's work in Surat but can run into Delhi's busier arrival windows and winter fog season.
Business: the frequency here is your friend — an early non-stop in and an evening one back makes a same-day Delhi trip realistic. Keep a later flight in mind as a fallback.
Families: pick a mid-morning departure for an easier airport experience and confirm whether you land at T1 or T3 so pickups are arranged correctly.
Students & budget travellers: midweek Air India Express or IndiGo cabin-only fares are usually the cheapest. Book a few weeks out for the best value.
Surat (STV): a single-terminal airport, compact and quick to move through. All carriers depart from the same terminal.
Delhi (IGI): IndiGo uses Terminal 1, while Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 3. The two are several kilometres apart with a shuttle between them, so check your terminal before arranging a pickup or a connection.
At Surat (STV): the airport is about 11 km from the city centre in Dumas. App cabs, autos and pre-paid taxis are available; allow extra time during peak traffic.
At Delhi (IGI): the Airport Express Metro links IGI to central Delhi quickly and cheaply, and app cabs and pre-paid taxis serve all terminals. From T1, the metro and cab ranks are well signposted; from T3 the Express line runs directly into the city.
IndiGo and Air India Express sell cabin-only fares with check-in baggage as a paid add-on on the lowest buckets; standard fares include 15 kg check-in. Air India's regular fares typically include a larger free allowance. Confirm at booking and see IndiGo baggage for IndiGo's current limits.
Delhi's winter fog (mid-December to January) is the main disruption risk — early-morning flights are most affected, so allow buffer time on those dates. Surat is hot and humid in summer and through the monsoon. Carry a light jacket for Delhi in winter and for the cabin year-round.
Your terminal in Delhi depends on the airline: T1 for IndiGo, T3 for Air India and Air India Express. They are not walkable from each other, so confirm before you book a tight connection or tell someone where to collect you. For the lowest fare, compare a midweek IndiGo cabin-only ticket against Air India Express on the same date in FlightGPT.
Yes. IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express run roughly 4-6 non-stops a day between Surat and Delhi, taking about 1h 50m.
The non-stop is around 1h 50m block time for the roughly 935 km. A connection would only add hours, so the non-stop is the sensible choice.
Typically 4-6 non-stops a day across IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express, spread from early morning to evening.
IndiGo arrives at Terminal 1; Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 3. The two terminals are several kilometres apart, so confirm before arranging a pickup.

Under DGCA rules, airlines must refund statutory taxes and fees, and the full fare if the airline cancels or reschedules significantly. Your own cancellations attract airline charges based on fare type.
IndiGo and Air India web check-in typically opens 48 hours before departure. Air India Express also offers online check-in. Doing it early lets you choose a seat and skip queues.
Delhi's mid-December to January fog can delay or divert early-morning arrivals. Allow extra buffer on those dates and track your flight status the night before.
IndiGo and Air India accept pets in cabin or cargo on many domestic flights subject to advance booking, weight limits and health paperwork. Confirm directly with the airline, as slots are limited.
Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a small infant fare with no separate seat. Carry proof of the child's age. A separate seat needs a child fare.
