This is the lowest displayed fare, but customer support and any post-booking changes would normally need to be handled through the third-party provider.
For such a small difference, booking directly with the operating airline is the preferred option. Select Ethiopian Airlines from the list of providers after opening the Skyscanner result.
The direct Ethiopian Airlines option was displayed from approximately €380 return . Since the price difference is only €11, we recommend booking directly with Ethiopian Airlines when that option remains available.
Check the final price, fare rules, payment currency, baggage allowance and provider name before completing the booking.

Where to stay, how many nights to book and where to travel next
Delhi is much more than an arrival airport. It combines the historic lanes and markets of Old Delhi with the monuments, restaurants, museums and modern neighbourhoods of New Delhi. Four nights provide the best balance for most first-time visitors before continuing to another part of India.
How many nights should you stay in Delhi?
The city is geographically large and journey times can be longer than expected. Avoid trying to compress Old Delhi, central New Delhi and the southern monuments into a single rushed day.
Delhi’s principal highlights
Suitable for travellers continuing quickly to Agra or Jaipur. Allocate one day to Old Delhi, one to New Delhi and one to the southern monuments and neighbourhoods.
The best overall balance
Four nights provide three complete sightseeing days after arrival. This allows a more comfortable pace for Old Delhi, central New Delhi, Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar and a relaxed evening for food or shopping.
Culture without rushing
Choose five nights when museums, markets, food tours and more relaxed sightseeing are important, or when you want recovery time after the overnight journey from Europe.
Best areas to stay in Delhi
There is no single perfect neighbourhood for every traveller. Choose according to whether you prioritise central sightseeing, airport convenience, a calmer environment or historic atmosphere.
Connaught Place
A practical central base with restaurants, shopping and metro connections. It provides relatively easy access to Old Delhi, India Gate, museums and several major New Delhi landmarks.
- Central location
- Good metro access
- Wide restaurant selection
- Suitable without a rental car
Aerocity
A modern hotel district near the airport with many international and upscale properties. It is particularly useful for a one-night stop, a late arrival or travellers who value predictable airport transfers over historic atmosphere.
- Convenient for the airport
- Modern hotel selection
- Good for short stopovers
- Less convenient for daily sightseeing
South Delhi
Areas such as Greater Kailash, Defence Colony and the broader Hauz Khas district suit travellers wanting restaurants, cafés and a less intense environment than the busiest central streets.
- Calmer overall atmosphere
- Good dining options
- Useful for Qutub Minar and South Delhi sights
- Taxi or metro journeys still required
Old Delhi
Staying close to Chandni Chowk places travellers near the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, historic markets and famous food streets. However, the area can feel crowded, noisy and overwhelming.
- Historic atmosphere
- Excellent access to Old Delhi sights
- Ideal for markets and food exploration
- Not the most relaxing first base
Best overall choice for this flight deal
For a first trip, begin with
four nights around Connaught Place or central New Delhi
.
This provides a practical base for sightseeing while avoiding the
need to change hotels immediately after the long journey.
Aerocity is the better option when the stay is only one night or
when an early flight follows. South Delhi is attractive for a
longer and calmer visit.
Check the map carefully
Delhi is enormous. A hotel described as being in “New Delhi” may
still be far from the attractions you plan to visit.
Check the exact location, nearby metro station, recent reviews
and estimated travel times before booking.
Where should you go after Delhi?
The flight dates allow between nine and fourteen nights in India. Rather than spending the entire trip in Delhi, combine the capital with one or two destinations matching your preferred travel style.
Agra
The most obvious continuation for first-time visitors to India. Stay overnight rather than attempting a very long rushed day trip, allowing time for the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and another historic site.
Jaipur
Combine Delhi and Agra with Jaipur for the classic Golden Triangle route. Jaipur offers forts, palaces, markets, traditional crafts and a very different atmosphere from Delhi.
Varanasi
A strong option for travellers prioritising culture and spirituality. Allow enough time for the river ghats, an early morning boat experience, evening ceremonies and nearby Sarnath.
Rishikesh
Choose Rishikesh for a more peaceful continuation involving the River Ganges, yoga, spiritual sites and access to the Himalayan foothills. It offers a useful contrast after Delhi’s intensity.
Dino’s suggested itinerary
For the reference trip arriving in Delhi on
15 September 2026, book the first
four nights from 15–19 September.
A strong ten-night route would be:
Delhi for four nights, Agra for one night and Jaipur for three
nights
,
leaving the remaining time for travel and a final night near Delhi
before the early 02:30 return departure.
Travellers who prefer fewer hotel changes could instead stay four
nights in Delhi and continue to Varanasi or Rishikesh for three
nights.
Search hotels in Delhi
Compare hotels around Connaught Place, Aerocity, South Delhi and Old Delhi. For the reference itinerary, begin by searching from 15–19 September 2026 for a four-night stay.
Hotel prices and availability can change. The suggested number of nights and onward routes are general itinerary recommendations rather than fixed requirements. Check transport schedules, hotel locations, entry requirements and the final booking conditions before confirming the trip.
