American Airlines Flights from Los Angeles to Delhi

American Airlines on this route

Los Angeles is a American Airlines hub, so American Airlines typically offers several daily departures on LAX–DEL, with nonstop service where demand supports it and connections through its other hubs otherwise. The nonstop flight time is about 15h 58m.

Fare classes available: Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Main Cabin Extra, Premium Economy / First / Flagship. American does not charge change fees on Main Cabin and above for travel within the US, and on most international itineraries originating in North America. Fare difference applies.

Recorded lows on LAX–DEL start at $763 one-way. That figure comes from cached search data and moves with demand, so treat it as a benchmark for what a good price looks like rather than a guaranteed fare.

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines both operate hubs at one end of this route, so nonstop or single-connection service is usually available, along with American Airlines, Emirates, and Qatar Airways. Our agents can book any of them and compare fare classes side by side.

Covering 8,000 miles, the flight runs around 15h 58m nonstop. On sectors this long, one-stop itineraries through a hub are often priced well below the nonstop and add only a few hours; the agent will show both.

When to fly

For long-haul travel, mid-January to March and the shoulder months of October and November usually bring the lowest fares; June through August and the December holidays cost the most.

On this specific route our fare history shows October as the cheapest month and February as the most expensive, a spread of $109 between the two.

Midweek travel almost always beats weekends on price here. If your dates are flexible by a day or two, tell the agent; shifting a Friday departure to Thursday or a Sunday return to Monday is the single most reliable way to cut the fare.

For international travel, booking two to five months ahead usually gets the best fares; inside three weeks, prices rise sharply. Peak-season travel in summer and over the December holidays should be booked as early as possible.
