In January, departures from Chicago (All Airports) (CHIA) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) require advance planning because Chicago winter weather can affect airport operations. O'Hare (ORD) typically hosts most nonstop long-haul services, while Midway (MDW) is less common for intercontinental departures. For January travel, expect longer security lines and possible de-icing delays — arrive at least 3 hours before international departures. Use flexible-date searches for the best 'Chicago to Delhi flights' and consider early-morning or late-night departures to avoid the worst of transit traffic and local delays. Book priority with carriers offering winter operational reliability and check baggage allowances for long-haul international flights. CTA: Search and compare CHIA to DEL January flights now to lock in early fares and select ideal departure times.
Arrivals at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in January are generally smooth but subject to occasional fog-related delays in the early morning. Immigration counters process international arrivals swiftly during most hours; still, budget 30–90 minutes for immigration and baggage depending on flight volume. For onward travel to Jaipur or Agra, pre-booked transfers are recommended to avoid delays around Republic Day (January 26) when traffic restrictions may apply. Use official pre-paid taxi booths, radio cabs, or app-based rideshares for safer door-to-door transfers, and check domestic flight connections early if continuing onward the same day. CTA: Book your January DEL transfers and check arrival advisories before you fly.
