India to Double its San Francisco-Delhi Service from Three to Six Times a Week Starting in November

NEW YORK - Sept. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Air India announced that it will be increasing its non-stop service between San Francisco and Delhi – India's Capital – from three to six flights a week, starting November 21, 2016.  The Boeing 777-200LR flights will depart every day except Tuesday. The flying time is 16 hours and 15 minutes – a full 3½ hours faster than any other airline. The non-stop flights depart San Francisco at 10:30 AM and arrive in Delhi at 4:15 PM the next day. Departures from Delhi are at 2:35 AM, and the arrival time in San Francisco is 6:00 AM the same day.

For passengers traveling beyond Delhi, Air India also offers the fastest connections from San Francisco to major cities across India, including Bangalore, Mumbai, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and more.

Like Air India's non-stop flights from New York, Newark, and Chicago, the San Francisco-Delhi flights feature First, Business, and Economy Class and a choice of Continental or Indian cuisine served in the gracious style that is distinctly Indian.

"Fueled by the significantly shorter flying time, our non-stop San Francisco-Delhi service was an immediate successwhen it launched last December," said Ms. Vandana Sharma, Air India's Regional Manager-Americas. "The three additional weekly fights are a response to the steadily increasing popularity of the service and the convenience of our seamless connecting service to all major business and tourism centers across India, many with customs and immigration formalities at the final destination."
