H1: Flights to Hyderabad

Booking the BA non-stop

The flight normally leaves Heathrow Terminal 5, with three cabins from economy up to business. American Airlines and other oneworld partners sell seats on the same aircraft, so a fare showing another airline's name may still be the BA service. Check the operated-by note before comparing.

One-stop choices from across the UK

Gulf Air, Etihad Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways link Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Manchester with Hyderabad through their home bases, while Lufthansa and KLM route through Europe, and KLM also flies from Bristol and Cardiff. Air India does not fly the route non-stop. IndiGo suspends its UK flights from 25 October 2026.

Entry rules for British passport holders

Get your e-visa from indianvisaonline.gov.in, the Indian government's own site. Immigration expects a passport with six months' life after you arrive and a pair of empty visa pages. Two online forms follow: the e-arrival card, accepted from three days out, and, while the rule lasts, an Air Suvidha self-declaration in the last 24 hours.

When to go: Sankranti, Bonalu and the hot months

November to February brings warm days and cool nights. From April, afternoons often pass 40C until the monsoon breaks in June, with rain into October. UK families fly in for Sankranti in mid-January and Bonalu in July or August, and haleem stalls open citywide during Ramadan, so those weeks book up early.

Charminar, Golconda and a plate of biryani

Start at Charminar, built in 1591, and browse the bangle shops of Laad Bazaar beside it. At Golconda Fort, a clap at the entrance carries to the hilltop pavilion. The Nizams' Chowmahalla Palace and the Qutb Shahi Tombs fill another day, and the Salar Jung Museum rewards a rainy afternoon. Finish with Hyderabadi biryani.
