Lowest fares from Vancouver to Amritsar
What to know before you book Vancouver to Amritsar
There's no nonstop from Vancouver to Amritsar. Many travellers take Air India's nonstop from Vancouver to Delhi and connect to Amritsar by a short domestic flight, or by the Shatabdi or Vande Bharat train, which takes about six hours. One-stop trips through Europe or the Middle East are worth comparing too. December and the summer school break are the busiest and priciest times.
Through ticket or Delhi plus a train?
A through ticket to Amritsar protects you if the first flight is late. Flying to Delhi and taking the train can be cheaper and gives you a day to rest, but book the train ahead on IRCTC, because the Shatabdi and Vande Bharat sell out in busy weeks.
Book the busy dates early
December, the summer school break and the weeks around Diwali and Vaisakhi are the busiest from Vancouver. Start watching three to four months ahead for those dates.
Bags
Allowances on long-haul flights to India are often generous, but the domestic leg from Delhi can have a lower limit if it's a separate ticket. Check both before you pack.
At Amritsar
Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International (ATQ) is about 11 km from the Golden Temple. Prepaid taxis and app-based rides are the easiest way into the city.
