Flight Path
Singapore to Delhi is 2,575 miles (4,144 km), a flight of about 4 hours 15 minutes.
The flight path crosses the Bay of Bengal heading northwest. At cruise altitude (around 35,000 feet), the Bay itself dominates the midpoint—a vast expanse of open water with occasional cloud formations. The Andaman Sea and Andaman Islands lie to the southeast (right) of the typical flight path. As you approach the Indian subcontinent, the Eastern Ghats mountain range becomes visible on the horizon, running north-south along India's eastern coast. The flight then crosses into the Indo-Gangetic Plain, where the Ganges River system becomes visible as a network of tan-colored waterways and floodplains. The Aravalli Hills mark the final approach to Delhi from the southeast.
