Who flies Vancouver to Delhi right now
As of October 2026, Air India is the only airline flying nonstop between Vancouver (YVR) and Delhi (DEL). Air Canada stopped its Vancouver-Delhi nonstop in 2022 and has not brought it back, so Air Canada tickets on this route involve a connection. Air India's flight is scheduled at roughly 16 to 16.5 hours, not the 14.5 hours often quoted. Indian carriers still cannot use Pakistani airspace, and Air India has cut and re-timed some Vancouver flights during 2026, so some departures have made a technical stop (for example Kolkata or Vienna). Check your exact flight before you book.

Which Vancouver to Delhi routing should you choose?
- Elderly parents or first-time flyers: Air India nonstop. One boarding, one immigration queue in Delhi, and wheelchair assistance can be requested once. If the schedule shows a technical stop, ask us whether you stay on board.
- Students with extra baggage: Air India on a Classic or Flex fare (2 x 23 kg), or Emirates on a Saver fare or higher (2 x 23 kg). Avoid the lowest "Value" or "Special" fares, which allow only one bag.
- Families with young children: Emirates via Dubai or Qatar via Doha split the trip into two shorter flights with a proper layover. Choose a layover of 2 to 4 hours so there is time to change planes without rushing.
- Business or short trips: Air India nonstop saves the most time. If its day does not suit you, ask us for the next-best one-stop with the shortest layover.
