Star Alliance member Turkish Airlines is currently selling cheap flights in cooperation with IndiGo from France to the Indian capital, New Delhi. Not only do the flights include 30 kg of luggage, which is rare for economy class tickets in this price range, but you’ll also sometimes have a long layover in Istanbul on your outbound flight, where you’ll be eligible for a free Istanbul tour, organized by Turkish Airlines. If you only have a short layover in Istanbul, it’s also good, as it vastly reduces your travel time. So, either way, this is a great deal for this price.
We found flights to New Delhi from the following 6 French cities:
From France, you’d first fly to Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. The 6-hour flight to India is then operated by IndiGo with an Airbus A321. As stated in the introduction, from some cities you’ll have to stay 18 hours in Istanbul, but luckily Turkish Airlines offers free tours of the city, so that’ll be a nice addition to your trip.
While Turkish Airlines offers a great economy class experience, serving hot meals and drinks, IndiGo is Asia’s biggest low-cost

Information & Tips for Delhi
Delhi or New Delhi is the capital of India, the world’s second most popoulos country. The city combines architectural elements from more than 1,000 years. Therefore it appears as a timeless conflux of several cultures. From Hinduism, Moghul India through British colonial influences, the poeple of Delhi inhabited and preserved what they got from whomever ruled the city.
The result is a city full of sights like pompous temples and mosques, regal colonial buildings and buzzing shopping districts. One of India’s best public transport systems and a steady flow of taxis and rickshaws help you get around. With its undeniable contemporary influences, Delhi is the best gateway to enter the culturally vastly different country of India.
Best Time to Travel
Delhi is hot – from May through August, the average daily temperature is above 30 degrees, making this an unpleasant time to visit the city. From mid-september, when monsoon season is finished, to November is a great time go. While December and January can be cold and unpleasant, from February to April is another good time frame for a trip to India’s capital.
