Air India flights from Delhi and Mumbai to New York go nonstop again
With Iraq's airspace available again, Air India's Delhi and Mumbai flights to New York are nonstop, cutting about four hours from the Rome one-stop routes.
Good news if you fly between India and the US: Air India's flights between Delhi, Mumbai and New York are nonstop again.
The reason is simple. Iraq's airspace is available again, and that opens up the direct route for India's flag carrier.
What does it mean for you? Compared with the one-stop itineraries via Rome, the nonstop flights shave around four hours off the journey. That means less time in transit, no connection to catch and no layover to sit through.
If you're planning a trip from India's capital or its financial hub to New York, a direct option is back on the table. It's worth checking the schedule before you book, since the airline decides which services it operates.
For many travellers, four hours is the difference between arriving tired and arriving ready to explore.
