India Flights Route Guide

India is the biggest single-country network on Xen Trips: 8 Indian cities, with flights running in both directions from Dubai and the wider network. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and the three Kerala airports of Kochi, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram cover most of the country's major population centres. Look for Dubai to Mumbai flights for a business trip or Dubai to Kochi flights to see family in Kerala, and the guides below break down the journey city by city.

Why people fly to India

Family is the biggest reason people fly this corridor: weddings, school holidays, and simple homecomings to parents and relatives across North and South India. Kerala's three airports in particular serve one of the largest Gulf expatriate workforces of any Indian state, so Onam and the two Eid holidays bring heavy demand on those routes specifically. Delhi and Mumbai carry more business travel alongside the family visits, reflecting their roles as India's political and financial capitals, while Bengaluru and Hyderabad see a growing share of professionals in technology and pharmaceuticals. Diwali and the winter wedding season lift demand across almost every India route at the same time.

Planning tips

Each route below states its own flight duration and gives background on who typically travels that corridor and when it gets busy. Passport, visa and entry requirements should always be confirmed directly with the relevant Indian authority before you travel, since rules can change and vary by nationality. Baggage allowances, document checks and boarding cut-offs are set by the operating airline, not by Xen Trips, so check those directly with the carrier before you travel.

When is the busiest time of year for India travel?
