FAQs for booking New Delhi to Washington, D.C. flights

  • Do I have to book an extra ticket when flying with an infant?

    This depends on the airline you’re booking with. Most airlines, such as Turkish Airlines, will require you to book an additional ticket only when traveling with more than one infant. If this is your case, one infant can travel while sitting on your lap while the other must be fastened in a car-type child seat on the airplane seat. When flying with only one infant, you don’t have to pay for an extra seat, as the infant can travel while sitting on your lap.

  • What are the layover options for this route?

    There are a few cities where you could potentially have your layover when traveling from New Delhi (DEL) to Washington Dulles Airport (IAD). The layover destinations are usually determined by the airline, so be sure to choose the airline you’re flying with cautiously due to transit visa restrictions. The most popular options on this route include Istanbul when flying with Turkish Airlines, Abu Dhabi when flying with Etihad Airways, and if you choose United Airlines, your layover will be at Newark Liberty Airport (EWR) - where you’ll have a transfer to LaGuardia Airport (LGA).

In addition, you will be provided with an Emirates Private Collection Bulgari amenity kit to ensure you are 100% fresh when landing.

The Air India lounge in Delhi , was very disappointing! The food was of poor quality and options were limited especially for vegetarians!! Beverages were fine. The in flight crew was excellent! . They helped me with my seat controls - the controls did not work without a hassle or assistance!! A very poor showing for a Business cabin!!! Post flight , the wheel chair passengers ( including Me) were “ shepherded and left waiting twice (an hour or more) before taking us to immigration! I chose to Fly Air India because I want. to patronize our National carrier with the hope that the experience will improve!!! Regrettably, I will have to look at other options for my next trip to India

Entertainment system was not working and was told I would get a voucher and have not got one. No toiletries were available not even a toothbrush false sweet talk by ground staff

Worst International flight I ever had in my whole life time. Boarding is the worst of all and flight experience was also not good. Screens were not working, seats were not comfortable and lot more.

Air India needs to launch new planes. Seats are worn out, most of the plane's TV screens wasn't working, USB charging ports wasn't working as well so I can charge my phone & watch my download movies, Food was mediocre, the plane smells. How can Air India put through their customers with this bad experience? This complaint needs to get escalated to the upper management. How shameful is the upper management to improve this plane? The flight is going back & forth from NEW YORK & DELHI. Two of the big cities in the world and this is how your experience is for sitting in a plane for 12+ hrs? Get your planes fixed ASAP Air India (TATA Management do your job right).

One of my worst experiences. Nothing was working in the flight. Entertainment system was broken, seat was very uncomfortable, crew did not offer water until food was provided, lights were not working, attendant call was not working. In short everything was broken and duct taped.

Old aircraft, crew were so so. Meals were mediocre. Flight to delhi was delayed. Lounge needs update and was mediocre too.

The food on board the flight was atrocious - tasteless, spicy as hell, and simply a hodge podge of nonsensical items of poor quality.

The crew smile nicely when you board and exit, in between they are sullen and innattentive

Better entertainment choices and better food required. Mediocre as compared to other airlines. Planes are old and need revamping

Unclean bathrooms, Crew doesn't check if toilet tissue is present or not. Faulty Tray, Screen doesn't work. Food quality and quantity was less.
