Vancouver to New Delhi is one of the longest scheduled flights operated from Canada, reflecting Vancouver International's role as the country's primary transpacific and South Asian gateway. Air India operates the route on a Boeing 777-300ER, with a scheduled block time of roughly 14 hours 30 minutes eastbound to Delhi and 14 hours 50 minutes on the westbound return. Demand is driven heavily by British Columbia's large Indo-Canadian community alongside the region's growing technology-sector ties to India. Air India's business class on the 777-300ER offers a 1-2-1 lie-flat layout; the airline has begun rolling out a retrofitted cabin with fully enclosed suites across its widebody fleet through 2026-2027, though as of this route's current operation that specific retrofit is not yet guaranteed on every rotation — check with our concierge team for the latest aircraft configuration before booking. Frequency has been adjusted during 2026, easing from a previous daily schedule to around five weekly round trips amid broader network rebalancing, so availability can vary more than on daily routes.
Diwali (dates vary, typically October-November) is the single busiest period on this route and should be booked as early as possible. Summer (June-August) sees strong VFR (visiting friends and relatives) demand. Given the recent frequency reduction to roughly five weekly flights, booking further ahead than usual is advisable across all seasons, not just peak periods.
Departure
Vancouver International's international terminal (Terminal M for this route) has strong South Asian food and retail options reflecting the route's core customer base. Given reduced frequency, allow extra buffer for check-in on the days this flight operates.
Arrival
Indira Gandhi International's Terminal 3 is India's busiest terminal. Air India's business class lounge offers a full-service restaurant and spa facilities. Immigration and customs can be time-consuming on arrival — budget extra time, particularly around Diwali.
