If you’re looking to book cheap flights from the US to one of the oldest cities in the world, look no further than our Delhi flights here at Globehunters.

Delhi is a truly fascinating destination, and while it might take a little while to acclimatize to your new surroundings, you’ll be richly rewarded when you do, with vivid colors, tastes, and sounds around every corner.

With lots of narrow twisty lanes, the streets of Delhi are full of life, with bazaars, street food stalls and historic monuments to explore.

The city is also home to many museums, which offer an insight into life in Delhi throughout its long and interesting history.

Once you’re done getting a feel for the city’s history, why not head out into the many bazaars for some souvenir shopping, with lots of beautiful fabrics and gifts on sale (just be ready to haggle!).

It’s also worth trying out some of the street food on offer, such as the many traditional kebab houses, or chill out in a coffee shop or cocktail bar.

Flying to Delhi from the US

Here’s everything you’ll need to know when booking flights from Delhi to the US, including flight times and entry requirements.

Flight Times

The flight time from the US to Delhi will depend on your departure airport and whether you can catch a direct flight or not, but the average direct flight time is between 14 and 16 hours.

Of course, indirect flights will take longer, but may also prove to be better value.

Entry Requirements

US citizens traveling to Delhi will require a valid passport and Indian visa, which can be applied for with the Indian embassy.

However, if you’re only visiting as a tourist, for less than 30 days, you can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization in lieu of a visa.

These must be applied for at least four days before your arrival and can be applied for on the Indian government’s website.
