Flight Deals from Philadelphia to Delhi from $1,139

The flight from Philadelphia to Delhi is about 7,390 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the trip requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no nonstop flights from Philadelphia to Delhi. The shortest connecting routing is on Air Canada via Toronto, at 18 hours total (93-minute first leg, 880-minute second leg, and a 107-minute layover). Qatar Airways also connects via Doha in about 18 hours 55 minutes.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

From Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Airport Express Metro (Orange Line) is the most-used and fastest option, reaching central New Delhi in about 18–25 minutes for roughly ₹50–60, with trains every 15 minutes and direct service to Terminal 3. Prepaid taxis from the yellow police-run booths cost around ₹500–600 and take 20–25 minutes in light traffic, while app-based rideshares like Uber Go average ₹588 to New Delhi and offer a more controlled experience. Delhi Transport Corporation buses (including the 24-hour airport express to ISBT and Connaught Place) are the cheapest at about $1 but take 50–80 minutes and are best for budget travelers or late-night arrivals. Chauffeur-driven car hire is available through Carzonrent, and private transfers can be pre-booked for roughly €23, though they cost about double a prepaid taxi. For most visitors, the metro is the clear winner on speed and cost, while taxis and rideshares offer door-to-door convenience, especially with luggage.

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Philadelphia to Delhi — there is no nonstop red-eye service, and no connecting itinerary on this route has an overnight long leg. Travelers on this route fly daytime departures instead.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service from Philadelphia to Delhi. The quickest one-stop routing is on Air Canada via Toronto, taking about 18 hours with four daily departures.

Air India also connects through San Francisco, though that routing takes about 28 hours 45 minutes. Air Canada and Air India are Star Alliance members, while Qatar Airways belongs to oneworld.

There are no nonstop flights from Philadelphia to Delhi, so travelers connect through hubs like Toronto, San Francisco, or Doha. On the long-haul legs, Air Canada uses the Boeing 777-200LR, Air India uses the Boeing 777-300ER, and Qatar Airways uses the Airbus A350-900. The connecting short-haul segments are flown with regional jets such as the Embraer E175 or Boeing 737 MAX family aircraft.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

There is no nonstop service from Philadelphia to Delhi, and the connecting itineraries are operated by Air Canada, Qatar Airways, and Air India (with a United Airlines leg on one routing). Air Canada, Air India, and United Airlines are all Star Alliance members, while Qatar Airways belongs to oneworld — so both Star Alliance and oneworld serve this route through connections. SkyTeam does not appear among the carriers currently operating it.
