Which connection works best from Los Angeles?
Dubai (fastest about 23h 35m) came up most often in our latest search. Gulf hubs usually give the shortest total time; European hubs can work better on price, baggage or schedule. We also check the layover length, terminal changes and transit visa rules for your passport before you book.
When should you book?
October to February is the most comfortable time in Pune. The monsoon brings rain from June to September. Fares from Los Angeles rise fastest around Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, the December holidays and the summer break, so book those dates early. Shoulder months usually price better if your dates are flexible.
Origin airport
Departing from Los Angeles (LAX)
Most foreign airlines fly from the Tom Bradley International Terminal. Traffic around LAX is heavy at peak times, so leave extra time to reach the terminal.
Destination airport
Arriving in Pune (PNQ)
