Star Alliance members Swiss and Lufthansa are currently selling discounted business class tickets from Swedish airports Gothenburg and Stockholm and Norwegian airports Oslo and Bergen to the Indian capital New Delhi. Tickets sell as low as SEK 15,244 (~€1,382) and include the flight to India in lie-flat seats, as well as the feeder flights to Frankfurt, Munich or Zurich in European business class, with lounge access and other priority services.
If you fly with Lufthansa via Munich, you’ll even get to fly in the impressive Airbus A380, on the upper deck. The only possible downside of this deal is the relatively long minimum stay requirement of 10 days.
You can depart from the following cities:
- Gothenborg at SEK 15,244 (~€1,382)
- Stockholm at SEK 15,263 (~€1,384)
- Bergen at NOK 17,015 (~€1,461)
- Oslo at NOK 17,194 (~€1,476)
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Lufthansa’s website with your preselected flight dates. There you can buy the tickets for either airline (i.e. for Lufthansa or Swiss).

If you fly with Swiss, an Airbus A330-300 will fly you from the Alps to New Delhi. You can also fly via Frankfurt or Munich. When changing planes in Frankfurt, a Lufthansa Airbus A340 takes you to India. From Munich, you will fly Lufthansa’s Airbus Airbus A380 to Delhi.
Generally, Travel-Dealz writers and readers are not big fans of the Lufthansa business class, even though it is definitely not bad. One reason for that is that the service is too inconsistent: From extremely friendly and quick to unfriendly and slow – everything is possible with Lufthansa, even in business class. Regarding the seats, they are mostly fine, though not really on-par with the competition anymore. That’s why the airline is now slowly installing their new Allegris seats.
With SWISS, it very much depends on the specific seat, as SWISS has a throne seat in every row. While the double seats share a platform in the middle, the throne seat has its own platform on each side, which you won’t have to share with anyone. Those seats thus offer privacy and comfort to an extent that the other seats cannot compete with. Therefore, you may be disappointed if you don’t get one of the throne seats, even if the other seats obviously also have a very high standard. In the future, SWISS will have a new business class, called “Swiss Senses”, which is basically Lufthansa’s Allegris cabin, but in red.
Qatar Airways currently sells tickets for business class trips from Stockholm to Delhi at a slightly higher price, but with fewer inclusions.
European citizens require a tourist visa if they want to visit India. You can apply for it online at the official website. If you plan on continuing your journey on a separate ticket, you still need to apply for a tourist or transit visa.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, you need to stay at least ten days in India to get the lowest fare. Availability is brilliant throughout the entire year, as our calendar above shows. While the tickets are non-refundable, they can be rebooked for €250 + the price difference.
You can find additional flight dates on Google Flights. We recommend buying business class tickets directly from the airline, in this case, Lufthansa or Swiss.
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.

Destination
Information & Tips for Delhi
Delhi, India’s capital, is known for historic sites like the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb, and Qutub Minar, as well as vibrant markets and cultural districts. The local currency is the Indian rupee (INR), and cash is widely used, though cards and digital payments are increasingly common. Prices are generally low by international standards, making it a budget-friendly destination. The weather is extreme—very hot in summer (April–June), with a monsoon season from July to September, and cooler, more comfortable weather from October to March.
