Booking Advice for the Delhi to Vijayawada Route
When booking your Delhi to Vijayawada flight, pay attention to the specific Air India fare type you select, as this dictates your meal inclusions.
Choosing the Right Fare
If you want a meal during the 2-hour and 20-minute flight, ensure you book the standard economy fare rather than the Basic option.
Festivals like Diwali, Dussehra, and Sankranti drive high demand for flights into Andhra Pradesh. Book early if you plan to travel during these peak periods.
Terminal & Airline Updates for DEL and VGA
Air India recently updated its terminal operations at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in October 2025. Your departure terminal now depends entirely on your specific flight number.
Delhi Departure Terminals
Air India flights with a 1XXX flight number, such as AI 1724, depart from Terminal 2 at Delhi. All other Air India domestic flights, including AI 2903, depart from Terminal 3.
Always check your boarding pass or the Delhi Airport official website to confirm your terminal before leaving for the airport.
Vijayawada Arrival Terminal
At Vijayawada International Airport (VGA), also known as Gannavaram Airport, all domestic flights arrive at the Integrated Terminal. There is a new integrated terminal building under development; we recommend checking directly with the airport regarding its exact opening date and current operational status.
AI 1XXX flights (like AI 1724) use T2. Other AI flights (like AI 2903) use T3.
All domestic flights arrive at the Integrated Terminal. Check with the airport for updates on the new building.

Ignoring Seasonal Weather Disruptions
Winter fog in Delhi between December and February frequently causes early morning delays. Additionally, monsoons and cyclones in Andhra Pradesh from October to December can disrupt flights arriving in Vijayawada.
Key Takeaways for Delhi to Vijayawada Travellers
