Book Flight Tickets Online

Cheap flights that actually fit your trip

Everyone wants cheap flights, but the cheapest fare on the screen isn't always the cheapest trip. A 5:40 a.m. departure from Delhi means leaving home at 3. A fare without a checked bag is low until you add the suitcase going to your sister's wedding. So when you book flight tickets online, start with the day you need, then find the best price inside it.

On FlyX, enter your city, destination, date and every passenger, including children and infants. Fares are shown in rupees for the whole group. Open the fare you like and read three things before paying: the baggage, the change and cancellation rules, and the final amount.

In Punjab and across North India, a lot of people still ask for a "hawai ticket". Hawai ticket, air ticket, plane ticket or flight ticket, it's all the same booking, and it starts with the search box above. Whether it's air tickets for a Diwali visit home or plane tickets for a family trip abroad, the checks below are the same.

Check the arrival time as carefully as the departure, especially if someone is coming to pick you up.

Domestic & International Flight Booking

Domestic flight booking is quick once you know what to compare. Look at the times, the number of stops and the terminal, then the fare. On busy routes like Delhi to Mumbai or Bengaluru to Delhi there are flights almost every hour, so a slightly later flight is often cheaper. Try a day earlier or later if your plans allow. Cheap flight tickets for domestic trips are easier to find midweek and outside festival dates, though every route is different.

International flight booking needs a few extra checks. Your name must match your passport exactly. You need the right visa for the destination, and sometimes a transit visa for the country where you change planes. Baggage rules can change from one airline to the next on the same journey. If you're looking for cheap flight tickets for international trips, a one-stop route through the Gulf is often cheaper than a non-stop. That's fine, as long as the layover is long enough and both flights are on one ticket.

Coming back is part of the trip. Check what day you land in India, because overnight flights often arrive the next morning. If you have work or college the day after, leave time for the drive home.

How to book flight tickets online

• Pick one way or round trip, and choose the airports from the suggestions.
• Add the dates and every traveller in the right age group.
• Choose a fare type if it applies to you: Regular, Student, Senior Citizen or Armed Forces.
• Compare the flights, then open the fare details for baggage and cancellation rules.
• Enter names exactly as on the ID or passport you'll carry, and a phone number you'll actually answer.
• Pay, then wait for the e-ticket with the airline PNR.

That last step matters. A payment message and an issued ticket are two different things. If your booking shows as pending or awaiting PNR, don't pay again for the same trip. Contact FlyX support with your booking reference and we'll check it.

What your flight ticket price covers

Airlines sell the same seat at different prices with different rules. A basic fare may include only a 7 kg cabin bag, while a slightly higher fare adds checked baggage, a free seat or cheaper changes. Neither is wrong. A cheap ticket with cabin baggage is perfect for a two-day work trip. For a month at home with gifts for the whole family, a fare with a checked bag is usually cheaper in the end.

Families who want to sit together should look at seat selection. On many fares, seats are assigned at check-in and you may end up apart unless you pick seats when booking.

Student & Senior Citizen Fares

For student flight ticket booking, choose the Student fare type on the search form. Several Indian airlines offer student fares on domestic flights, usually with extra baggage or a small discount. The airline sets the rules, typically a minimum age and a valid student ID, and staff can ask to see that ID at check-in. Without it, you may have to pay the difference.

Senior citizen flight booking works the same way. Pick Senior Citizen in the fare options, and the airline's rules decide the age limit and the ID needed. Carry proof of age when you fly.

A student or senior fare isn't always the lowest total. Compare it with the regular fare for the same flight and look at what each includes. If a parent needs a wheelchair or help at the airport, request that separately with the airline. A senior fare doesn't book assistance on its own.

Flight Ticket Cancellation Charges

Flight ticket cancellation charges depend on three things: the airline, the fare type and how close to departure you cancel. The cheapest fares usually carry the biggest charges, and some refund only the taxes. Cancelling after check-in closes, or not turning up at all, is often treated as a no-show with stricter rules.

Even on a non-refundable fare, the airport and government taxes are generally refundable in India, so it's worth asking for a cancellation rather than just not flying.

Before you cancel, ask for a breakdown: the airline's charge, FlyX's fee if any, and the amount coming back to you. If you only want to change the date, there's usually a change fee plus the fare difference, and the new flight can cost more than the old one.

If the airline cancels or reschedules your flight, the rules are different and you usually have more options. Don't cancel the booking yourself in that case. Send the airline's message to support first.

Check-in closes before the departure time printed on your ticket. Your airline sets exactly when.

Air Ticket Booking in Amritsar, Chandigarh, Delhi & Other Cities

Air ticket booking in Amritsar starts at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ). Along with domestic flights, it has international flights to Gulf cities such as Dubai, which saves Majha families a long drive to Delhi. Sometimes a connection through Delhi is cheaper than a direct flight, so compare both.

Chandigarh's airport (IXC) actually sits towards Mohali, so allow time for the drive from Panchkula or the Chandigarh sectors. Most of its flights are domestic.

From Jalandhar and Ludhiana, people usually compare Amritsar, Chandigarh and Delhi. Amritsar or Chandigarh is closer, while Delhi has far more flights and often cheaper fares. Add the taxi or bus cost before you decide.

Air ticket booking in Delhi gives you the most choice in the country. Delhi airport has more than one terminal, and the terminal depends on the airline, so check yours on the ticket.

For Mumbai, check whether the flight uses the main airport or Navi Mumbai. In Bengaluru and Hyderabad, the airports are a long way from most of the city, so leave plenty of time for traffic.

For other cities, Jaipur, Kolkata, Chennai, Goa, Srinagar and many more, the steps are the same: search your airport, compare the fares and timings, and check the terminal.

Flight booking offers and bank offers

Current flight booking offers are on the offers page and at payment. Read the travel dates, the minimum amount and any coupon code. Flight booking offers on credit card come from banks and change often. When a bank or card offer is running, it appears with its terms at payment, and many are cashback paid later by the bank. Plan your budget on the amount you pay today.

Last minute flights

When you need to fly today or tomorrow, the last minute flights page shows recently checked fares on popular Indian routes, only for flights at least four hours away. Search again before you pay, because seats go fast. A non-stop that costs a bit more is often the better choice when you can't afford to miss a connection.

Questions before you book a flight

How do I find cheap flights without hidden costs?

Compare flights with the same dates, passengers and baggage. Look at the final payable amount, not the first number you see. Add a checked bag or seat if you need one, then compare again.

What should I check for flight ticket booking in India?

Check the airport and terminal, the date, the passenger names, the baggage allowance and the cancellation rules before paying. After paying, make sure you have an e-ticket with an airline PNR.

Are student and senior citizen fares always available?

No. They depend on the airline, route and date. Choose the fare type on the search form to see what's available, and carry the ID the airline asks for.

Can I change my travel date after booking?

Usually, if the fare rules allow it. You pay the airline's change fee plus any fare difference. Ask support for the full cost before you confirm the change.

Is a hawai ticket the same as an air ticket?

Yes. Hawai ticket is simply the Hindi and Punjabi way of saying air ticket or flight ticket. You can book it on FlyX like any other flight.
