How to fly from Adelaide to Amritsar
Amritsar is home for a lot of Punjabi families in South Australia. Getting there from Adelaide always means a connection. The good news is that you have a few sensible ways to do it.
Your main choice is simple. Book one ticket all the way to Amritsar, or fly into a bigger Indian city like Delhi and continue from there.
Route option | How it works | Good for |
One stop via Kuala Lumpur | Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur, then on to Amritsar | Families who want one ticket and one connection |
One stop via Singapore | Adelaide to Singapore, then on to Amritsar | Travellers who like a big, easy transit airport |
Via a Gulf hub | Adelaide to Doha or Dubai, then on to India | Sometimes better timing or value, but often a longer trip |
Via Delhi, then domestic flight | Fly Adelaide to Delhi, then a short hop to Amritsar | More flight choices and dates |
Via Delhi, then train | Fly to Delhi, then a fast day train to Amritsar | Relaxed travellers visiting family in Delhi first |

What flights from Adelaide to India cost right now
Here are the “from” fares showing on our website for Adelaide departures Today. They are a starting point, not a promise. Your fare depends on the date, airline and fare type.
From Adelaide to | Fares from (per person) |
Amritsar | AUD $1,453 |
Delhi | AUD $773 |
Mumbai | AUD $729 |
Kochi | AUD $753 |
Ahmedabad | AUD $819 |
You can see the gap. Right now, a ticket to Delhi starts well below a ticket to Amritsar. That doesn’t always mean Delhi works out cheaper once you add the last leg, a night’s stay, or the train. But it is always worth comparing both.
7 tips for booking flights Adelaide to Amritsar
1. Compare Amritsar with Delhi
Ask for both prices. If the Delhi fare plus a domestic flight or train costs less, and the timing suits you, it can be a good option. If you have family in Delhi, you might even enjoy a few days there first.
2. Keep the whole trip on one ticket if you can
When Amritsar is on the same booking, your bags are usually checked through and the airline looks after you if a delay makes you miss a connection. Two separate tickets don’t give you that protection. If the first flight runs late, the second airline doesn’t have to wait.
3. Look closely at layover times
A two-hour layover is easy. A nine-hour overnight one with children is not. Sometimes a slightly higher fare buys you a much better connection. We’ll show you both so you can choose.
4. Check transit rules for your passport
Most one-stop trips keep you airside at the transit airport. If your route needs a terminal change or an overnight stop, check whether you need a transit visa for that country before you book.
5. Plan around the busy weeks
The Australian summer school holidays, Diwali and the big Sikh festivals in Punjab are peak times. Seats to Amritsar are limited, so they go early. If your dates are flexible, travelling outside these weeks can make a real difference.

7. Students and teachers in Adelaide: use MannPass

Travelling to Amritsar with family and elderly parents
Many of our Adelaide travellers are taking children to meet grandparents, or bringing parents home after a long visit. A few things make the trip easier:
Book everyone on one booking. It keeps seats together and makes any changes simpler.
Ask for wheelchair assistance at every airport. That includes the transit airport, which can involve long walks.
Request special meals early. Vegetarian and other meal requests are usually made at least a day or two before departure.
Check baggage for every flight. If you add a separate domestic flight from Delhi, its allowance may be smaller than your international one.
Sort your documents early. Australian passport holders need an Indian visa or OCI card. Apply through the official Indian visa website well before you fly.
You will land at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, a short drive from the city and the Golden Temple. If family is collecting you, share your final flight number, not just your first one.
