Origin airport
Departing from Delhi (DEL)
International flights use Terminal 3. Some domestic flights leave from Terminal 1, so check the terminal for any onward flight and allow time for the transfer.
Destination airport
Arriving in Houston (IAH)
Most foreign airlines use the international Terminal D and United uses Terminal E for its international flights. Allow extra time for the drive, as IAH is well north of downtown.
Traveling with family?
With a connection, we look for itineraries that keep the family on one ticket with a comfortable layover, and request seats together on both flights where the fare allows it.
Student / long-stay fares
Students starting a semester in Houston can compare one-way and open-return fares and the two-bag allowance most airlines give on India–USA routes.
