Flights from Bangalore to Delhi

Flights from Bangalore to Delhi are so popular that whatever time between 5 AM and 10 PM you arrive at the airport there's always a machine to take off within the next couple of minutes. The flights take less that 3 hours and all arrive at Indira Gandhi International Airport located in the western section of the capital. One infamous for being one of the world's worst airports, it is currently undergoing improvements but still, first time visitors are often shocked at how rudimentary and overcrowded are the airport's facilities, especially when they are arriving from Bangalore's cutting-edge premises that spread over 71,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 3,000 passengers at peak hour .

Other most popular flights from Bangalore are to:

• Bangkok -2 daily flights with Thai Airways
• Chennai- 7 daily flights with Jet Airways
• Dubai - 2 daily flights with Emirates
• Frankfurt- 1 daily flight with Lufthansa Airlines
• Mumbai- 5 daily flights with Kingfisher Airlines
• Singapore - 1 daily flight with Singapore Airlines

The long-awaited new Bangalore International Airport is among India's busiest hubs, with 27 aircraft movement per hour, the ability to handle 12 million passengers per year, and a variety of budget, discounted and full-service tickets to cater to all typer of travelers. Despite its superior status in the field of biotechnology, the metropolitan area of Bangalore lacked proper international travel facilities, which was much resented by a number of business commentators. Problems with foreign investors and formal regulations delayed the construction for over a decade, but after endless negotiations and major last-minute changes in design, the airport began operations in May 2008. Since it is located on the outskirts of Bangalore, 40 kilometers from the center of the city, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation operates the bus service from 12 different locations throughout the city. Also, the inauguration of a high-speed rail line is planned for March 2010.
