📅 Monthly Delay Risk
How on-time performance typically varies through the year on LHR→DEL based on historical weather and operational patterns:
December-January is peak fog season in North India. Dense morning fog (especially 3 AM-10 AM) regularly drops visibility below the 550m minimum needed for takeoff. Delhi airport — the worst affected — sees hundreds of cancellations and 2-4 hour delays during severe fog spells. Lucknow, Patna, Varanasi, Amritsar, and Kolkata are similarly impacted. Airlines use CAT-III equipped aircraft to operate during lower visibility, but delays remain common.
💡 Tip: Consider booking afternoon or evening flights (post 11 AM) in Dec-Jan — visibility typically improves by mid-morning. Keep buffer time for connections. Check flight status 2-3 hours before departure.
February sees fog frequency reduce significantly but early-morning departures can still face delays of 30-90 minutes on fog-prone days. Severity is much lower than Dec-Jan.
💡 Tip: Fog delays are typically shorter in February. Early-morning flights occasionally delayed; mid-day onwards reliable.
April-May brings sudden thunderstorms ("Kalbaisakhi") to East and North India, typically in afternoon and evening hours. Flights in 3 PM-8 PM window most affected. Delays of 45-120 minutes common on stormy days at Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Patna.
💡 Tip: Book morning flights (before 2 PM) during April-May if flying to/from East India. Check weather forecast the day before.
💡 Typical price range on this route
Prices on LHR→DEL typically range from ₹44,088 to ₹1,01,751 — based on 8,205 fare observations over the last 30 days.
