Whether you're planning a quick weekend escape or adding Jaipur to a longer India adventure, getting there by air is super convenient and Flightd will help you make the most of it.

 

Getting to Jaipur: Flightd That Lands You in Royal Style

First things first: Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is small but efficient, and it’s only about 20 to 30 minutes from the main city, depending on traffic. It’s well connected and makes flying in easy and stress free.

 

Domestic Flights
 

If you’re flying from within India, good news Jaipur is just a short hop from several major cities:

  • From Delhi: under 1 hour
  • From Mumbai: around 90 minutes
  • From Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, or Kolkata: 2 to 3 hours

Airlines like IndiGo, Vistara, Air India, and SpiceJet have frequent flights in and out every day.

 

International Connections
 

While Jaipur isn’t a major international hub, it does have direct flights from cities like:

  • Dubai
  • Sharjah
  • Muscat
  • Bangkok

If you're flying in from further away Europe, the U.S., or Southeast Asia you’ll likely connect through Delhi or Mumbai. From there, Jaipur is just a short domestic flight away.

 

Pro Tips for Flying In:

Flights get pricier during peak season (October to March), so book early if you can. The airport has prepaid taxi counters and ride hailing apps like Uber available, so getting to your hotel is easy.


 

Things You Have to See in Jaipur

Honestly, Jaipur is a photographer’s dream, but even if you’re not into taking pictures, these spots will blow you away:

 

  • Amber Fort

Ride an elephant (or take a jeep) up to this hilltop fort for amazing views and even better architecture. It’s straight out of a fairy tale.

 

  • Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds)

This iconic pink building is what most people picture when they think of Jaipur. You can’t miss it and you shouldn’t.
 

  • City Palace

Still home to Jaipur’s royal family, this place is part museum, part palace, and 100% impressive.
 

  • Jantar Mantar

A collection of giant, ancient astronomy instruments. Sounds weird? It is but also fascinating.

 

  • Markets & Bazaars

Jaipur’s markets are a riot of colour, sound, and smells. Head to Johari Bazaar for jewellery, Bapu Bazaar for textiles, and Tripolia for everything in between.


 

What to Eat (Spoiler: Everything)

Food in Jaipur is a full blown adventure. Don’t leave without trying:

 

  • Dal Baati Churma classic Rajasthani comfort food
     
  • Laal Maas spicy red mutton curry for the brave
     
  • Pyaaz Kachori a flaky, onion filled snack
     
  • Ghewar a sweet, syrupy dessert you’ll dream about later
     
  • And yes, chai is everywhere and it’s amazing.

 

Where to Stay

Jaipur does accommodation right, whether you want royal luxury or budget friendly comfort:

 

  • Want to feel like a king or queen? Try Rambagh Palace or Samode Haveli
     
  • Looking for cosy and cool? There are tons of beautiful boutique hotels and homestays
     
  • Travelling on a budget? Hostels like Zostel and Moustache are great options with a social vibe

 

Quick Tips Before You Go

Best time to visit: October to March cooler weather, perfect for sightseeing.
 

Getting around: Tuk tuks are everywhere. You can also use Uber or hire a car with a driver for the day.

 

Cultural stuff: Dress modestly, especially at temples and forts. A little respect goes a long way.

 

Final Thoughts

Jaipur is more than just a pretty city it’s an experience. From the moment you land, you’re wrapped in history, colour, and a kind of chaos that’s oddly beautiful. Whether it’s your first time in India or your fifth, Jaipur will find a way to surprise you.


So go ahead book that flight with Flightd, pack your bags, and get ready to fall in love with the Pink City.
