Delhi to Hyderabad flights today & tonight

Flying today? Same-day DEL to HYD seats stay on sale until the airline’s check-in cutoff — typically 60 minutes before a domestic departure. With roughly 43 departures a day spread across IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet, a missed or sold-out flight on this sector is usually a delay of an hour or two rather than a lost day. Two things to get right before you pay: check which IGI terminal you are leaving from, and remember that landing at Hyderabad still leaves you a drive in from Shamshabad.

About Delhi and Hyderabad

1,260 km, about 2h 20m in the air, and roughly 43 departures a day across four airlines — DEL to HYD links the national capital with India's pharma manufacturing and IT services base. It is a working corridor first: consultants, pharma and IT staff, government and legal travel, plus families moving between the NCR and Telangana.

Delhi

Airport DEL

Indira Gandhi International (DEL) is the busiest departure point in the country, and Hyderabad is one of the sectors it feeds hardest. One practical detail catches out last-minute DEL flyers more than any other: IGI splits domestic departures across more than one terminal, and moving between them is not a five-minute walk. Read the terminal off your e-ticket before you leave, not after you arrive. December and January fog is the other DEL-specific risk on this sector — early-morning slots are the ones that slip, so if your Hyderabad meeting is fixed, a mid-morning departure buys you margin the 06:00 flight does not.

Hyderabad

Airport HYD

Rajiv Gandhi International (HYD) sits at Shamshabad, well south of Hyderabad and clear of the built-up city — a single-terminal airport reached mainly by the Outer Ring Road. That geography is the thing to plan around on a 2h 20m flight: the drive in can add a meaningful slice on top of your journey time, and it is shorter to the western tech belt around HITEC City and Gachibowli than it is up to Secunderabad or the old city. If you are landing for a same-day pharma or client meeting, work backwards from the meeting through the road time, then pick the flight — choosing the cheapest arrival slot first is how people end up sprinting the ORR.

Airlines flying DEL → HYD

Four carriers fly DEL–HYD non-stop, and IndiGo alone accounts for well over half the daily departures — which is why a sold-out 6E flight tends to move the whole day’s pricing.

The Tatkal Flights advantage

With four carriers and around 43 daily departures to sort through, the hard part of a same-week DEL–HYD booking is not finding a flight — it is finding the one that still has a seat at a sane fare and lands you in Hyderabad in time. That is the part we do for you.

Fast handling for same day, next day, and 72-hour travel windows.

Human agents

Real travel experts guide the route instead of leaving you to compare endless listings.

Delhi to Hyderabad Flight Guide

Route at a glance. 1,260 km, about 2h 20m non-stop, roughly 43 departures a day. IndiGo runs around 25 of them, Air India about 10, Akasa Air about 5 and SpiceJet about 3 — so on a bad day there is almost always another aircraft an hour behind the one you missed. Every carrier flies it in the same 2h 20m, which means on DEL–HYD you are choosing on departure time and price, not on journey length.

Door to door, not gate to gate. Treat the 2h 20m as the middle of your journey rather than the whole of it. At the Delhi end, confirm your departure terminal at IGI before you set off. At the Hyderabad end, Rajiv Gandhi International is out at Shamshabad, so the road leg into the city is a real part of the trip — a later flight that lands you closer to a workable road window often beats an earlier, cheaper one.

When to book. The general pattern on Indian metro routes is that fares are softest a few weeks out for mid-week travel, and that Friday-evening and Sunday-return slots sit well above the weekday average. Booking inside three days, expect fares to run higher rather than lower — the cheap buckets are already gone. What we do at that point is scan every carrier on the sector in real time, surface the lowest seat still actually available and lock a confirmed PNR.

Tushar's note on Delhi → Hyderabad

I founded Tatkal Flights specifically for travellers booking inside the 48-hour window before departure, and Delhi → Hyderabad is one of the routes where that window matters most. On most Indian routes the cheapest fare buckets sell out first, so the closer you get to departure the higher the price usually climbs — last-minute is rarely cheaper. What we do instead is compare live fares across every airline the moment you search — including unpublished and network fares a single portal may not show — and get you the lowest seat still available, with a confirmed airline PNR in minutes. Booking inside 24–72 hours, the real win isn't a magic low price; it's a confirmed seat on the earliest workable flight without overpaying.

Two practical notes from watching this route closely: (1) Friday-evening departures on Delhi → Hyderabad tend to price noticeably higher than the Tuesday-morning departure on the same week, so if your travel date is flexible by a day or two the savings are real. (2) The "non-refundable" tag on the cheapest fare bucket has a specific definition under DGCA rules — if the airline cancels or reschedules by more than 2 hours, you're owed a full refund regardless of bucket. I keep the DGCA refund-rights guide updated each quarter for that reason.
