Cheap flights from Calgary to India from C$ 688

Only one airport in Calgary provides flights to India—Calgary International Airport (YYC). It is the only international airport in the province of Alberta, meaning it’s responsible for flights to India from Calgary. From YYC, you can catch a flight to India’s popular destinations and international airports, including Bengaluru International Airport (BLR), Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), and Mumbai International Airport (BOM). YYC is quite busy, and it’s ranked as the fourth busiest airport in the country. It is about 30 minutes from downtown Calgary, and you will have plenty of transport options to and from the airport, including a public bus. Calgary Airport has two terminals, the international and domestic terminals. The international terminal is the newer building and handles international flights, including the one to India. You have several transfer options between terminals, including the YYC Link Shuttle.

Unfortunately, there are no direct flights to India from Calgary at the moment. However, you will find many one- and two-stop flights operated by various airlines. The quickest flights to India are one-stop flights, and Air Canada provides these flights to Delhi, with a single layover at its hub city, Toronto. The other option is two-stop flights which, again, Air Canada provides as well as United Airlines. The last option is taking a two-stop flight operated by multiple airlines, which is also a fun way of getting to India. You can expect daily flights to India from Calgary facilitated by Air Canada. Moreover, their jets offer comfortable seats, great in-flight entertainment, and complimentary meals on these long-haul flights.

Since there are no direct flights to India from Calgary, always expect a layover somewhere. Air Canada and United Airlines are the two major airlines providing flights to India from YYC. With the single-layover flights, expect a stop in Toronto if you’re flying with Air Canada. Moreover, it’s the only airline that provides single-layover flights to India from YYC. If you’re on a two-stop United Airlines flight to India, expect a layover in Denver, then another in Newark, United Airlines’ hub city. Having two stops can increase your flight time by up to ten hours, but these flights are slightly cheaper than one-stop flights to India.

Yes, both a passport and visa are required before you’re allowed entry into India. For passports, your passport needs to be updated and stay valid for up to six months and should have at least two unused pages. India doesn’t offer visas on arrival, so Canadian citizens must apply for visas before getting on the plane to India from Calgary. The eVisa is the quickest to process and acquire, and it takes about two days to process but could take up to four days. Start the process at least a week before your flight to be on the safe side. Getting an eVisa for India will cost you about C$ 140, which includes processing and service charges.
