Chicago O'Hare has historically had Air India's nonstop to Delhi, but that route has faced repeated 2026 seasonal suspensions tied to airspace and fuel-cost pressures, so most itineraries currently run one-stop via a Gulf or European hub, or via a short domestic hop to Newark/JFK for United's nonstop. Delhi is India's busiest international gateway and the default arrival point for most Canada/US-India itineraries. Demand peaks around Diwali/wedding season (Oct-Nov) and summer school break (Jun-Aug); cheapest fares typically appear Feb-Mar and Sep.
