FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I Change or Cancel My Flight to India After Booking?arrow

Flexibility depends on the airline and fare type selected. Some economy fares have limited change options, while premium economy and business class tickets often allow changes at reduced or no extra cost. When booking with Southall Travel, our specialists clearly explain fare rules so you can choose the option that suits your plans.

How Early Should I Arrive at the Airport for Flights to India?arrow

For long-haul flights to India, Southall Travel recommends arriving at the airport at least three hours before departure. This allows enough time for check-in, security checks and boarding, particularly during busy travel seasons or school holidays.

Do I Need a Transit Visa for One-Stop Flights to India?arrow

Most UK passport holders do not require a transit visa when travelling to India via major hubs such as Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi, as long as you remain airside and have confirmed onward tickets. Transit rules can vary by route and airline, so Southall Travel advisors are happy to check requirements for your specific itinerary before you book.

Are Direct Flights to India Better Value Than One-Stop Options?arrow

Direct flights to cities like Delhi and Mumbai offer the fastest journey times and added convenience. However, one-stop flights can often be more affordable, particularly during peak travel periods. Southall Travel compares both direct and indirect options to help you find the best balance between price, comfort and travel time.
