How to fly from Perth to Delhi: routes and flight times
Perth is much closer to India than the east coast. That is good news for WA families. But there is no non-stop service on this route right now, so every trip includes one connection in Asia or the Middle East.
The good news is that you have plenty of choice. Here are the main ways to get from Perth to Delhi.
Connect via | Airlines on this routing | Good to know |
Kuala Lumpur | Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia | Often the quickest connection on this route, at about 12 and a half hours in total. |
Singapore | Singapore Airlines | Several departures from Perth each day, so a good choice of connection times. |
Bangkok | Thai Airways | A popular full-service option with an easy transfer. |
Colombo | SriLankan Airlines | Daily flights from Perth to Colombo, then on to Delhi. |
Dubai | Emirates | Longer overall, because Dubai is past India. Worth a look on busy dates. |
On the Singapore and Kuala Lumpur routes, each leg is roughly five to six hours. What really changes your total travel time is the layover. A two-hour connection gets you to Delhi in the same day. An overnight connection can add 8 hours or more.
One more thing to remember: Delhi is 2 and a half hours behind Perth all year round. Neither WA nor India uses daylight saving, so this never changes.
When to book flights Perth to Delhi
Demand on this route follows festivals, school holidays and the wedding season. Here is a simple guide.
When you travel | Demand | Our advice |
Late October to mid-November | High (Diwali) | Book now if you have not already. Seats are going fast. |
Mid-December to late January | Very high | School holidays, Christmas and weddings. Book by October if you can. |
February to March | Moderate | Pleasant weather in Delhi and often a better choice of dates. |
April to September | Mixed | Delhi is very hot, then wet. WA school holidays in July can still be busy. |
As a rule, two to three months ahead is a good window. For peak dates, earlier is better. The cheaper fare classes close first, and they rarely come back.
6 tips for a smoother Perth to Delhi trip
1. Choose your layover with care
A very short connection saves time but leaves little room for delays. A very long one is tiring, especially with children. Around two to four hours is comfortable for most families.
2. Keep the whole trip on one ticket
If both flights are on one booking, the airline looks after you when the first flight runs late. Two separate tickets can leave you stuck if you miss the connection.
3. Check the baggage allowance on both legs
Allowances depend on the airline and the fare type. Some low-cost fares include only cabin bags. If your trip mixes airlines, the stricter allowance can apply. Ask us to confirm before you pack.
4. Pack gifts and food wisely
Heading home with gifts for the family? Weigh your bags at home first. Coming back, remember that Australia has strict biosecurity rules. Declare any food you bring back, including sweets and spices.
5. Lock in your fare with PayLite

Arriving at Delhi IGI Airport with family
Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is big and busy. A little planning makes the arrival much easier, especially with children or older parents.
Know your terminal. International flights arrive at Terminal 3. Your family can wait for you in the arrivals area.
Sort your documents early. Australian passport holders need an Indian visa or an OCI card. Foreign passport and OCI holders may also need to complete India’s online e-Arrival Card before landing. Check the rules on the official Indian visa website before you fly.
Plan your ride into the city. Prepaid taxis, app-based cabs and the Airport Express metro line all run from Terminal 3. Many families simply arrange a pickup.
Landing late at night? Let family know your flight number so they can track it, and keep some Indian rupees for small costs.
Travelling with elderly parents? Ask us about wheelchair assistance and special meals when you book. Both are easier to arrange early.
Book everyone together. One booking keeps the family seated together and makes any change simpler.
