Air transportation from Sri Lanka to Delhi, India

What is the least expensive and most direct way to get from Sri Lanka to Indira Ghandi International Airport in Delhi, India? None of Indian Airlines, Sri Lankan Aero nor the Air Gorilla website show any flights on that route (CMB to DEL).

On Kayak.com, both Indian Airlines and Sri Lankan show non-stop flights.

$591 CMB > DEL SriLankan Airlines 3:10p 6:45p 0 (3h 35m)


$388 CMB > DEL Indian Airlines 2:55p 6:35p 0 (3h 40m)

Hi

Sri Lankan airlines has a direct flight to New Delhi, I think it is 3 times a week but sure, you need to check frequency. Would not surprise me if it is now a daily flight. I have travelled the route 3 times for business and it is a good flight, and takes 3 1/2 hours.

I thank all who replied.

What I really needed was an "open jaw" reservation or 2 one-way reservations from BOM to CMB, and returning from CMB to DEL. I found flights on both Indian Airlines and Sri Lankan Airlines, but neither website would permit me to book an open jaw or the 2 needed one-way reservations. As to kayak.com, it merely transfers you to the website of the primary airline. Red Dot Tours solved my problem and obtained the open jaw reservations on Sri Lankan Airlines

Hi

If you need a flexile reservation you cna easily get it though a travel agent in Colombo. We do it all the time on our business trips.
