Delhi to Italy: Flight route

The short answer

Delhi has about eleven nonstop flights a week to Rome on two airlines: ITA Airways (a daily early-morning departure) and Air India (an afternoon departure four days a week). The nonstop flight takes about 9 to 10 hours. Italy is 4.5 hours behind India in winter and 3.5 hours behind in summer. One-stop flights via Gulf hubs exist, but with nonstops on two airlines, most families should fly direct.

We do not show fares, because we have no live prices. Ask the airline, or ask us: we book the flights together with the trip.

Layovers

With about eleven nonstops a week on two airlines, most travellers should fly direct. One-stop routings via Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha or Istanbul exist and can be cheaper, but they add roughly 4-6 hours, and we have not verified their current schedules, so we do not list them.

For parents and seniors

At about 9 to 10 hours this is a long but manageable flight for older travellers. Ask the airline for wheelchair or buggy assistance when booking, and allow extra time at Delhi's Terminal 3. Air India's afternoon departure lands in Rome in the early evening, which suits a first rest day. ITA Airways lands at breakfast time, so plan an easy morning after that flight.

Quick questions

Are there direct flights from Delhi to Rome?

Yes. ITA Airways flies daily, leaving Delhi at 03:45 and landing at Rome Fiumicino at 08:15. Air India flies four times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday), leaving Delhi at 13:15 and landing at 18:55. The nonstop flight takes about 9 to 10 hours.

Which flight timing works best with children?

Air India's afternoon departure lands in Rome at 18:55, so children can have dinner and go straight to bed. ITA Airways leaves Delhi at 03:45, which means a very short night at home but a breakfast-time landing and a full first day. Request child meals while booking.

What is the time difference between Delhi and Italy?

Italy is 4.5 hours behind India in winter (late October to late March) and 3.5 hours behind in summer. Flying west, the jet lag is mild: most children adjust within a day or two if you keep them in daylight on arrival.

Which airport and terminal will we use?

All nonstops leave from Delhi's Terminal 3 and arrive at Rome Fiumicino's Terminal 3. Fiumicino is Rome's main airport, with trains from its own station into the city and onward connections to Florence, Venice and Naples.

Is a one-stop flight worth considering?

With a daily ITA Airways nonstop and four Air India nonstops a week, most families should fly direct. One-stop routings via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul can be cheaper, but they add roughly 4-6 hours to the journey, and we have not verified their current schedules, so we do not list them.
