One-stop or longer connection: what to compare
A lower fare is not always the easier trip. Look at the whole journey before you decide.
What to compare | Why it matters |
Connection time | A short layover can be stressful with children. A very long one is tiring. Aim for a break that feels comfortable. |
Baggage allowance | Families often carry gifts and extra clothes. Check the checked-bag limit for every leg. |
Total journey time | Add the layover to the flying time. Two options with the same fare can feel very different. |
Arrival time in Amritsar | Late-night arrivals can make pick-ups harder for relatives. Plan transport ahead. |
Change and refund rules | Plans shift. Check what changes cost and whether the fare is refundable. |

Planning the rest of your trip
Flights are only part of the plan. A few early decisions make the whole trip easier.
Decide how long you want to stay. A week is short once you count the journey each way. Two to three weeks gives time for family visits, a trip to the Golden Temple and some rest. If you work, check your leave early and book once your dates are firm.
Think about where you will stay. Many travellers stay with relatives. Others prefer a hotel for part of the trip, especially with young children or older parents. We can help with hotels as well as flights.
Think about local travel too. Ask relatives about pick-up from the airport, particularly if you land late at night. Tell your bank you are travelling, and carry a little cash for small costs on arrival.
Finally, keep copies of your passport, visa, tickets and insurance details. Save them on your phone and share them with someone at home.
7 practical tips before you book
- Check your passport. Many airlines and countries expect several months of validity. Check the rules for your trip.
- Sort your Indian visa early. Apply through the official site, indianvisaonline.gov.in, and read the current requirements. If you hold an OCI card, check it is in good order.
- Match names exactly. Your booking name must match your passport.
- Compare the full trip, not only the headline fare.
- Ask about baggage before you pay, especially for gifts.
- Think about travel insurance. Check what it covers for delays and medical care overseas.
- Check government advice. Read the latest on smartraveller.gov.au before you go.
Travelling with family
A long trip with children or older parents takes planning. Small choices make it calmer.
- Ask for seats together when you book, and again at check-in.
- Pick a connection that gives older travellers time to rest.
- Pack medicines in your carry-on, with a copy of any prescriptions.
- Tell the airline early about meals, wheelchair help or other needs.
