What are the airports for flights from San Francisco to India?

For travellers who are looking to make the journey to India from San Francisco, there are a broad number of flight options that service the route on a daily basis. From the coastal Californian city of San Francisco, passengers can expect to depart from the large transportation center of San Francisco International Airport (SFO). Upon arriving in India, the plane will likely land in one of two major international airports: either Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), situated in the Indian capital city of New Delhi and known as the busiest airport in the country, or Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), also referred to as Mumbai International Airport, the country’s second busiest airport.

Which air carriers fly directly from San Francisco to India?

There are a number of air carriers that provide travellers with service options for the route from San Francisco to India on a daily basis. These airlines can be based in the United States, in Europe or in the Middle East. However, the majority of the flight options are operated by three major international American carriers—specifically, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. Almost all of the flights that run the route will include either one or two layovers, but there are a limited number of direct services and these typically take roughly around 16h 15min.

What are some of the layover options between San Francisco and India?

While non-stop flights to India from San Francisco are available, the number of options is limited. Most of the flights will likely have one or two layovers prior to landing at their destination airport. Typically, these one-to-two stop options can take anywhere from roughly about 19h 50min to as long as about 69h 11min. The significant difference in duration is in large part attributable to the number and location (or locations) of the layovers. The most frequented stops for these flights typically include JFK (John F. Kennedy International Airport) in New York City, O’Hare International Airport (ORD) in the Illinois city of Chicago, or London, England’s Heathrow Airport (LHR). The multi-stop flights may include one of these as well as another city in the Middle East. These longer routes do, however, tend to be cheaper.
