SkyTeam cornerstones Air France and KLM offer a decent fare for business class travel from Spain to Delhi, India. With a stop in Amsterdam or Paris, you can reach India’s capital for as little as €1,316 in a lie-flat-chair. The fair shows pretty decent availability deep into next year.
India requires travellers to show a proof of vaccination or a negative PCR-Test to enter the country. You can find up-to-date information on the website of Delhi’s airport.
You can fly from a couple of Spanish airports, as you may also depart from:
- Valencia at €1,316
- Malaga at €1,317
- Bilbao at €1,317
- Barcelona at €1,322
- Madrid at €1,323
- Seville at €1,324
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates from Barcelona and Madrid at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to KLM with your preselected flight dates. The airline sells the cheapest tickets itself.
All possible itineraries include a change of planes in either Amsterdam or Paris, both ways. Both airlines send aircraft of the latest generation from Europe to India’s capital. You will fly the long haul legs on KLM’s Boeing 787-10 or Air France’ Airbus A350.
By now, modern seats have also become the norm at KLM. Its business class is definitely not a bad choice, also thanks to the good service. Like many other airlines, the Boeing 787 always has the newest business class seats installed.
Let’s start with the negatives: Not only is Air France’s service usually below average (especially between meals), but their Business Light fare makes things even worse. Only 1 piece of luggage is included, and lounge access costs extra (except on flights to the US). On a positive note, almost all of their planes are equipped with a modern 1-2-1 business class by now.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, the cheap flights are available until July 24, 2022 for travel before May 31, 2023. A minimum stay of five days applies, while a maximum of three months may pass between your out- and inbound flight.
You can consult Google Flights to find additional flight dates. Since KLM sells the cheapest tickets on its website, we recommend booking there directly.

Information & Tips for India
India is a large and diverse country with major tourist sights like the Taj Mahal in Agra, the forts and palaces of Rajasthan, the backwaters of Kerala, and spiritual cities like Varanasi and Rishikesh. The currency used is the Indian Rupee (INR). Prices vary widely—budget travel is possible, but mid-range and luxury options are also common, especially in tourist-heavy areas. Weather depends heavily on region and season: winters (Nov–Feb) are generally pleasant, while summers (Mar–June) can be extremely hot, and the monsoon (June–Sept) brings heavy rainfall in many parts.
India’s transport infrastructure is a mix of modern and outdated systems. Within cities, getting around can be chaotic but manageable—options include auto-rickshaws, taxis, metro systems in larger cities like Delhi and Mumbai, and app-based services like Uber and Ola. Between cities, India has an extensive railway network that’s affordable but often crowded and prone to delays; domestic flights are common and relatively inexpensive for longer distances. Roads connect most places, but traffic and conditions can be unpredictable.
