Typical connection options
European and Gulf connections dominate one-stop routings; nonstop availability varies by carrier and season.
Best time to plan travel
If you need to arrive for a family event, work, or school, start with that date and leave room for your onward journey. If your dates are flexible, compare nearby departures using the same baggage and cabin needs. There is no guaranteed cheapest booking day.
Baggage considerations
Check the baggage allowance attached to your exact ticket, including both travel directions. On mixed-airline journeys, do not assume one carrier’s generic checked-bag policy applies throughout. Confirm cabin rules for the operating flights and where checked bags must be collected.
Airport notes
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK): JFK offers a broad range of nonstop and one-stop options toward South Asia, Europe, and the Gulf. Same-terminal connections are the smoothest.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL): Metro rail, prepaid taxis, and app-based rides connect the airport with the city.
