Delhi: €347 LOT Flights from Scandinavia in Early 2023 (Cabin Bags Only)

Star Alliance member LOT Polish Airlines surprises us with a set of decent fares from Stockholm and Oslo to India’s capital Delhi. With a change of planes is Warsaw, you can reach the ten million metropolis for as little as €347 (~SEK 3,832) – a fare that includes food and beverage service, but no checked bags. The cheapest fare including a checked bag is available at SEK 4,460 (~€404) on LOT’s website.

Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to our flight search with your preselected flight dates. You can buy your tickets directly from LOT via Google Flights, but you can also check what OTAs have to offer, as they sell these tickets up to €10 cheaper.

A LOT Boeing 737 or Embraerjet will first take you from Stockholm or Oslo to Warsaw. From there, a Boeing 787-8 with a 3-3-3 seating pattern in economy class takes you to Delhi. Though the direct route traverses Russian airspace, LOT will avoid both Russian and Ukrainian airspace during your flight.

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, tickets are on sale at this price until September 6, 2022. You need to stay at least six days or one night from Saturday to Sunday at your destination to get the lowest fare. The travel period is limited from September 2022 through February 2023, but we have only been able to find 2023 flight dates.

Google Flights will help you find additional flight dates. Since you can only get the cheapest flights via Google, you can let them forward you to LOT’s website.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

LOT issues tickets for all flight segments in booking class O. Star Alliance frequent flyers can only earn limited mileage on their way to India and back:

Destination

Hotel prices in Delhi usually start at roughly €20 for surprisingly good and clean hotels. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:

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.
