Flights to India from New Zealand

Cheap flights and air tickets to India from NZ

Looking for airfares to India from New Zealand? Most India flight tickets from Auckland have one stop, and the price depends far more on when you fly and which airlines you combine than on the city you pick. Cheap flights to India from NZ usually mean flexible dates, a longer layover or an off-peak week, and we show you each trade-off before you book.

Whether you need an air ticket to India for a wedding, Diwali, a long family visit or a one-way move, tell us your dates and we send a clear quote with the full price and baggage. You can book flights to India from Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington, and we price the connection from your airport.

Choosing the right Indian airport

There is no direct flight from New Zealand to India, so the gateway you choose matters. Delhi and Mumbai have the widest choice of flights, but the closest airport to your family isn’t always the cheapest to fly into, and the cheapest isn’t always the closest.

For many trips we price two options, for example Delhi and Amritsar for Punjab, or Mumbai and Ahmedabad for Gujarat, so you can compare the total cost and the total travel time.

Families in the south

For Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, see Chennai. For Karnataka, Bengaluru. For Telangana and parts of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. For Kerala, Kochi. Many families live between two gateways, so we often quote both and compare the total journey.

From Christchurch or Wellington, and family flying to New Zealand

Most of our India quotes start in Auckland, but we also compare Christchurch to Delhi and Wellington to Delhi against flying via Auckland.

Bringing parents or relatives to New Zealand? We book the other direction from our Auckland office: Delhi to Auckland, Mumbai to Auckland and Chennai to Auckland.

Festivals, weddings and school holidays

Diwali, Holi, Navratri, Onam, Pongal, Vaisakhi and the winter wedding season all pull travel dates in different directions, and New Zealand school holidays add more demand. Fares typically rise at these times. If your dates are fixed, ask early; if you can move them, tell us the window and we’ll show what it does to the price.

Visas, OCI and documents

New Zealand passport holders generally need a visa for India, and an online e-Visa is available for many visitors. People of Indian origin may hold an OCI card. Our guide to India visa online for New Zealanders explains the e-Visa steps, cost and timing in general terms, and the OCI card guide for NZ covers people of Indian origin. Planning when to go?
