We will be going to Delhi late January and I am concerned about the fog at that time of yr. Once in mid Dec. we were fogged in and hade to divert to Mumbai. No fun. Any ideas about this time of yr? Thanks, Larry

hello there..YES, dECEMBER AND january are the months in Delhi where the fog can play havoc with the flight schedules..however, it is nothing you can predict at this point. Some days all goes okay, another day, flights are cancelled like crazy. This does affect both international and domestic scheduling, as many domestic flights are indeed routed via Delhi. I DO KNOW THAT LAST YEAR, AIR INDIA, ACTUALLY took fog precautions, and for about two months actually re-routed all there flights to Delhi through bombay..The other INTERNATIONAL CARRIERS did not do that extreme case scenario, but there were definatley days when INTERNATIONAL BOUND Delhi flights ON OTHER international carriers were re-routed to Bombay..So, yes, fog is a concern, part of the INDIA dECEMBER/januarytraveling package,..YOUr trade off for cooler weather..And yes, the fog does/can also affect flights and even trains going to both AGRA and KHAJURAHO,as they generally originate in Delhi..so, can expect some delays and cancellations, but it varies, day to day..OF Course, it can also be a beautiulf day, so no way to forecast..ahhh, the surprises of INDIAN travel
