£450 to New Delhi: strong pound, £100 of spending costs just £22
A low fare for April, a rupee 8.3% stronger than a year ago, and prices that make the trip stretch further.
The fare and the money
£450 return. That was the fare seen on 25 October for New Delhi from Manchester, with one stop on Gulf Air, out on Thursday 15 April 2027 and back on Wednesday 21 April 2027.
The exchange rate is doing the heavy lifting here. StreetOwl rates the Indian rupee as Great value, scoring it 90 out of 100. The pound is buying 8.3% more rupees than it did a year ago. But the real win is the cost of living: £100 of UK spending costs about £22 in India. For April, this fare is low; similar trips usually cost £475–£710.
New Delhi in April
Wikivoyage describes Delhi as "India's largest city" and "the country's thriving melting pot," sitting at the centre of its arts, commerce and tourism.
Pack for the heat: on average, April brings daytime highs around 37 °C, nights around 20 °C and about 6 mm of rain over the month (1970–2000 averages, not a forecast). The FCDO advises against all travel to parts of India; read the FCDO's advice before you travel.
