Covering nearly 4,000 miles, the hop from Manchester (MAN) to Amritsar (ATQ) is easiest on the swift one-stop schedules: Qatar Airways’ morning service via Doha reaches Punjab in about 13 hours 20 minutes, while routings that change in London, Istanbul or Delhi seldom push the journey much beyond 14 hours unless you choose a long lay-over, although headline fares that look rock-bottom can involve twenty-plus-hour itineraries. The great-circle distance itself is 3,991 miles and a direct airborne sector would take a little over eight hours, but no carrier currently flies it non-stop.
Manchester Airport sits just under nine miles south-west of the city centre, with its own rail station linking Piccadilly in twenty minutes and frequent coach, tram and motorway access. Three terminals give you a choice of full-service lounges and fast-track security before boarding.
Southall Travel can book the route on a broad slate of full-service airlines: Qatar Airways through Doha, Air India or British Airways via London or Delhi, Emirates and Etihad through their Gulf hubs, plus Lufthansa, KLM, Virgin Atlantic, Gulf Air and Oman Air among others, so it is easy to balance price against total journey time or preferred stop-over city.
Touching down at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, you are only about 7 ½ miles north-west of Amritsar’s old city and the Golden Temple; a metered cab or app-based car typically covers the run in fifteen to twenty minutes. Amritsar Junction, the main railway station for onward trains to Delhi, Chandigarh and beyond, is just under seven miles from the terminal, so rail transfers are straightforward once you reach town.
Cheap Tickets to Amritsar from Manchester
With Southall Travel, snapping up cheap tickets to Amritsar from Manchester is easier than ever. By tapping into our exclusive airline partnerships, we can often undercut the usual fares on the popular Manchester to Amritsar corridor, especially when you secure seats three to five months ahead or pick calm Tuesday or Wednesday departures. While the North-West currently relies on swift one-stop itineraries, our smart combinations keep the total journey time low and the price even lower, putting dream flights to India within reach for families planning a long-awaited holiday to India. Use our flexible-date search or speak to an agent, flash sales are loaded overnight and disappear within hours.
If you prefer a non-stop ride, Air India’s direct London Heathrow to Amritsar service and its newer Gatwick to Amritsar rotation carry you overnight so you land refreshed in the Golden City . Fares on those routes drop sharply during the shoulder months, late January to early March and mid-May to mid-June, when Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport is at its quietest; travellers flying mid-week evenings often shave an extra ten per cent off. Edinburgh to Amritsar passengers enjoy equally sharp deals via Delhi, Doha or Istanbul, with the sweetest spot for booking around twelve weeks before departure. To dodge queues, steer clear of Vaisakhi in April, Diwali in October-November and the Christmas rush. Whether your itinerary is a swift pilgrimage or a leisurely set of Amritsar Holidays, Southall Travel has a fare that fits, book early and lock in the saving.
