Flights to Amritsar

Birmingham and Gatwick non-stops to Amritsar

Both Air India services depart in the evening and touch down in Amritsar before lunch the following day, leaving the afternoon free for family. The Boeing 777 offers economy and business class, and economy fares on these routes normally include two checked bags, which helps with wedding luggage. As the only non-stops, they fill up early in the winter wedding season and around Vaisakhi.

Connecting flights to Amritsar from Heathrow and other UK airports

Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Gatwick and Heathrow all have Qatar Airways one-stop tickets. Air India also connects from Heathrow through Delhi, and Virgin Atlantic links its Delhi service with an IndiGo flight to Amritsar on one ticket. Delhi is where you go through immigration and pick up your luggage, and IndiGo may depart from another terminal, so allow a long connection.

Sri Guru Ram Das Ji airport to the Golden Temple

The airport, often listed as Amritsar International, is at Raja Sansi, roughly 11 km north-west of the city, with prepaid taxis, auto-rickshaws, Ola and Uber outside. Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple, is open day and night and serves free langar meals to every visitor; cover your head and remove your shoes. Jallianwala Bagh and the Partition Museum are within walking distance, and the flag-lowering ceremony at the Attari border takes place each evening.

Fog, heat and festival dates to plan around

Thick winter fog sometimes holds up flights in December and January, even with the airport's low-visibility landing equipment. Daytime temperatures in May and June are typically near 39°C, and monsoon rain falls from July to September. Vaisakhi in mid-Aprial, Bandi Chhor Divas at Diwali and Guru Nanak's Gurpurab in November draw big crowds, and fares rise with them.
