Flight Deals from San Francisco to Pune from $944

San Francisco to Pune is about 8,412 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the trip requires a connection and a flight time isn't available.

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 non-stop flights from San Francisco to Pune. The shortest connecting routing is on Air India via Delhi, at 26 hours 40 minutes total — a 20-hour-50-minute leg to Delhi, a 3-hour-35-minute layover, and a 2-hour-15-minute final leg into Pune, all operated by Air India. Air India is the sole carrier currently scheduled on this route, and it is a Star Alliance member.

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 Pune Airport (PNQ), the most-used and fastest option is a pre-paid or app-based taxi (Ola, Uber), which covers the roughly 10 km to the city center in about 20–30 minutes and is the most convenient, especially with luggage. App-based ride-hailing is available 24/7 and can be reserved in advance. Public PMPML city buses offer a budget-friendly alternative with routes to Swargate, Pune Station, and Kothrud, plus a feeder bus to the Ramwadi Metro Station, though journeys take longer due to stops. Auto-rickshaws are affordable and easy to find for shorter trips, but less comfortable in traffic. Car rental desks and private/shared cabs are also available for added comfort and privacy.

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from San Francisco to Pune. Neither a nonstop red-eye nor a connecting itinerary with an overnight long leg is scheduled on this route.

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 San Francisco to Pune; the route is typically flown via a connection through Delhi with Air India. Air India operates the long-haul leg from San Francisco to Delhi and the onward segment to Pune, with the quickest one-stop itinerary taking about 26 hours and 40 minutes and up to 12 daily connection patterns. Some itineraries use Air India Express for the final Delhi–Pune leg. Air India is a Star Alliance member.

Pune has one commercial airport, Pune International Airport, about 10 km from the city centre. It serves domestic and limited international routes, with connections to major Indian hubs and a few Gulf destinations.

Getting from downtown San Francisco to SFO is straightforward with several solid options. BART rapid rail is the fastest and most popular choice, offering direct train service from the city center to the International Terminal in about 30 minutes for a low fare. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft provide convenient door-to-door pickup, while taxis are readily available at designated zones. Shared shuttle vans serve downtown hotels and other Bay Area destinations, and driving yourself is possible with multiple parking garages near the terminals, though it tends to be the priciest and least convenient for short trips.

There is no nonstop service from San Francisco to Pune; the typical connecting itinerary is operated by Air India, with the long-haul leg from San Francisco to Delhi flown on a Boeing 777-300ER before a domestic connection to Pune on an Airbus A320neo, Airbus A321, or Boeing 737 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 San Francisco to Pune, and the one-stop routings currently scheduled connect through Delhi on Air India, which is a Star Alliance member. Air India Express, which operates one of the connecting legs, belongs to no alliance. Other alliances may serve this route via connections, but Air India is the carrier operating the scheduled one-stop itineraries.
