Looking for cheap flights from Vijayawada to Delhi? FlightGPT compares live VGA to DEL fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Vijayawada to Delhi non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Vijayawada-Delhi fare is one search away.
As of June 2026, indicative one-way Vijayawada to Delhi fares typically start around ₹4,500-₹5,500 on IndiGo and Air India Express for departures booked 3-5 weeks ahead, reflecting the ~1,392 km distance. The lowest promotional buckets can open near ₹4,000 during a fare sale. Air India's full-service economy usually sits a little higher but includes a complimentary meal and free seat selection on most fares. Book close to departure or in peak season and fares can climb to ₹11,000-₹13,000 one-way.
With only a few non-stops a day on a longer sector, both early booking and seat availability drive the price — the cheapest classes are limited. Round-trip lows in a normal week tend to land around ₹9,500-₹13,000 combined. These are indicative ranges, not a live quote; for the exact fare on your dates, check the FlightGPT chat, which compares airline-direct against MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, ixigo and EaseMyTrip in one search.
IndiGo (6E) flies the route non-stop on A320neo/A321neo aircraft with a 15 kg checked allowance and buy-on-board catering, usually posting the cheapest published fares. Air India (AI) operates a full-service non-stop with a complimentary meal, free seat selection on most fares and Maharaja Club loyalty points — worth the modest premium on a 2.5-hour flight if you value the cabin product. Air India Express (IX) adds low-cost frequencies on Boeing 737s at competitive fares.
For pure price, IndiGo and Air India Express usually win; for comfort and an included meal on this longer hop, Air India is the pick. See our IndiGo airline page and Air India airline page for fuller policy details. Both non-stop and connecting options appear in search results — favour the non-stop unless a connection is much cheaper. Compare the reverse leg on our Delhi to Vijayawada route page.
Vijayawada to Delhi non-stops are spread across the day, with departures historically from mid-morning through to late evening (roughly 09:00 to 21:00 across the carriers combined). A morning departure gets you into Delhi by early afternoon with time to connect onward; an evening flight suits travellers finishing a working day in Andhra Pradesh.
The scheduled block time is about 2h 25m, with the actual airborne leg a little over two hours; Delhi's busy airspace can add holding at peak times. If you are connecting at Delhi to another domestic or an international flight, leave a comfortable buffer, particularly as IndiGo and Air India may use different terminals. For trip ideas at the destination, see our Delhi destination guide.
The non-stop is the fastest way to fly Vijayawada to Delhi at about 2h 25m. One-stop itineraries — commonly via Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Mumbai — appear when the day's non-stops are sold out or when an OTA bundles a cheaper combination and they can stretch the total journey to 5-8 hours including the layover.
On a longer sector like this, a connection occasionally undercuts the non-stop by a worthwhile margin, especially if you book late. Still, weigh the saving against the extra hours and the risk of a missed connection. Filter for non-stop first in the FlightGPT chat, then compare the best one-stop fare to decide whether the trade-off is worth it for your dates.
For this longer route, booking 3-6 weeks ahead is the sweet spot for routine travel. Inside two weeks the cheapest classes on the day's few non-stops are usually gone, leaving higher buckets; much earlier than about 60 days you often see inflated fares. Because the lowest fare bucket per flight is small, it sells out earlier than on a high-frequency metro pair.
For travel around major demand spikes — Sankranti in mid-January, the October-November festival season (Dasara, Diwali) and the summer holiday and admission window — bring your booking forward to 8-12 weeks, as Delhi-bound fares climb fastest then. Set a price alert in the FlightGPT chat and on Google Flights and watch for IndiGo's monthly 6E sale and Air India promotions, which can discount this sector noticeably.
Tuesday and Wednesday are generally the cheapest days to fly Vijayawada to Delhi, while Friday and Sunday carry the highest fares as business and weekly-commute traffic peaks. Where the schedule allows, a mid-morning departure can undercut the convenient early-evening business flights.
For round-trips, pairing a mid-week outbound with a mid-week return usually yields the lowest combined fare. On this multi-carrier route there is real scope to mix airlines — for instance an IndiGo or Air India Express leg one way and an Air India leg the other — which can occasionally beat a single round-trip price. Compare both single round-trips and split one-ways in the FlightGPT chat to find the cheapest combination.
IndiGo domestic economy includes 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag. Air India domestic economy includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin and a complimentary meal on this sector. Air India Express usually includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, though its cheapest hand-baggage-only fares may carry a lower free checked allowance — check the fare rules. Pre-pay any excess online to save versus airport rates (commonly ₹450-₹600 per extra kg at the counter).
Seat selection runs roughly ₹200-₹2,000 per leg depending on the row and airline, with front and extra-legroom rows the most expensive; Air India offers free seat selection on most fares. Add-on fees change over time, so verify the current baggage and seat charges on each airline's official site before booking. See our IndiGo baggage guide and Air India baggage guide for the latest.
You arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), India's busiest hub. The terminal depends on your airline and even your flight number: Air India domestic flights use Terminal 3 (T3), while IndiGo splits across Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2) by flight-number range, with some IndiGo services and all its international flights at T3. Always confirm your arrival terminal on the boarding pass — the terminals are several kilometres apart and connected by a free inter-terminal shuttle and the Airport Metro.
From the airport, the Delhi Metro Airport Express (Orange Line) runs from T3 to New Delhi station in about 20 minutes and app cabs, prepaid taxis and buses are widely available; a taxi to central Delhi typically takes 45-75 minutes depending on traffic. If you are connecting onward, allow generous time given the airport's size. For more on the city, see our Delhi guide.
All Indian domestic flights follow DGCA's CAR Section 3, Series M framework, but each airline's fare rules set the cancellation and date-change fees, which depend on your fare class. On the cheapest IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express saver or hand-baggage fares, cancellation typically refunds only statutory taxes, while higher flexi fares refund more minus a fixed fee; a date change costs a change fee plus any fare difference. Penalties vary and change over time, so confirm them on the airline's official site before booking.
If the airline cancels your flight or reschedules it beyond the DGCA thresholds, you are entitled to a full refund or free re-accommodation on the next available service, plus meals or accommodation for long disruptions per the rules. For the full picture, see our DGCA passenger rights guide.
