First, you will fly from Budapest to Paris or Amsterdam, depending on which airline you use to fly to India. Flights to Delhi with KLM are operated with a Boeing 787, featuring a 2-3-2 configuration in premium economy, while flights with Air France are operated with an Airbus A330 in a 2-3-2 configuration. Some combinations include flights via Bangalore with Air France using a Boeing 777 with a 2-4-2 configuration and a Boeing 787 with KLM. If your final destination is not Delhi, you will need to continue with Indigo to your final destination in economy class.
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
This deal does not have an expiration date. A minimum stay of five days or a Saturday overnight stay and a maximum stay of twelve months apply. Departures are available from August 2025 to June 2026, with most departures between August and October 2025 and March to June 2026.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on KLM’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
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.
Miles & Points
This ticket is issued in booking class N for the feeder flights in Europe, booking class A for the premium economy legs between Europe and India, and Booking class T for the feeder flights within India with Indigo. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal from Budapest to Delhi:
