Air India flies Washington Dulles–Delhi nonstop, giving the DMV area — one of the strongest Indian-American population centers in the USA — a direct option to the country's capital gateway.

Nonstop IAD–DEL, several times weekly.
One-stop via its own network, useful for schedule flexibility.
One-stop via Abu Dhabi.
One-stop via Doha.
The nonstop is the fastest option and worth prioritizing for a fixed travel date, since it doesn't run daily and seats can sell out ahead of peak season. A Gulf-hub one-stop can be worth it for a lower fare or better schedule fit.
Demand tightens fastest around Diwali, the December holidays and the May–July summer window, reflecting the size of the DMV area's Indian-American community. Because the nonstop runs a limited weekly schedule, book those seats earlier than you would on a daily-frequency route.
