Lowest fares from Vancouver to Delhi
What to know before you book Vancouver to Delhi
Air India flies nonstop from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL), over the North Pole, in about 15 to 16 hours. Everything else connects, most often in Toronto, Europe, the Gulf or East Asia, and those fares are frequently cheaper.
One nonstop, many connections
Air India is the only nonstop. Connections through Toronto keep you on Canadian carriers for the first leg; through Hong Kong, Singapore or Tokyo you fly west across the Pacific instead. Compare total travel time, not just the price.
Bags: check before you pay
Allowances differ between airlines and fare types, and on a ticket with two airlines the one shown at booking applies. If you're travelling with gifts or extra luggage, compare fares with the bags included.
Visa before you book
Canadians need an Indian visa. Check the official Indian Visa Online site for the options currently open to Canadian passport holders before you book. OCI cardholders don't need a visa.
