There is only one direct flight to Chicago from I
ndia – an Air India flight that leaves from Delhi. It takes 16 hours to reach the Windy City, which is, considering the huge distance of more than 12,000 km, pretty good. Moreover, you fly to Chicago cheap in a nonstop flight. However, since there is only one nonstop flight everyday, the demand will be high. There are other connecting flights which take longer than 18 hours like Air Canada via Toronto, United via New York City, Qatar Airways via Doha and Lufthansa via Frankfurt from both Delhi and Mumbai.Popular Packages
