San Francisco → Delhi flights
Median SFO to Delhi fare is $384 over 30 days of snapshots; watch for dips toward the $337 bottom-quartile mark before booking.
SFO–Delhi fares cluster near $384 — bottom quartile dips to $337
Key takeaways
- Median fare across 30 days is $384, with most fares landing between $337 and $388 (the middle 50%)
- Low end of the range hit $314, but that appears to be an outlier rather than the norm
- High end reached $406, just $22 above the highest quartile boundary — the ceiling isn't far above typical pricing
- A 29% spread between low and high suggests real but moderate volatility — not a route where prices swing wildly
- With fares this tightly banded, waiting for a dramatic drop below $337 may mean a long wait

The full picture
Thirty days of snapshots show SFO–Delhi fares holding in a fairly narrow band, with a median of $384 and the middle 50% of observations (p25–p75) sitting between $337 and $388. That's a useful anchor: if you see something at or below $350, you're already doing better than most travelers booking this route during the sampled window. The $314 low and $406 high mark the extremes, but they represent single data points rather than a normal range — most days cluster much closer to the median.
The 29% spread between low and high indicates moderate volatility, not the kind of wild swings seen on more prorotional or heavily-promoted routes. That means you probably don't need to time your purchase with same-day precision — small week-to-week shifts within the $337–$388 band appear to be the primary driver of savings, rather than a single golden booking window. Because this dataset covers only a 30-day rolling snapshot period, we can speak confidently about the current pricing environment, but we can't say how this compares to the same route six months from now or during a different season.
We don't have carrier-level breakdowns strong enough to call out a dominant airline pattern here, and day-of-week effects aren't visible in this dataset — so we won't manufacture a rule about it. Our honest recommendation: treat $384 as your benchmark, get excited in the $337–$350 range, and don't expect the deepest historical low ($314) to reappear reliably. As always, this reflects cached fare data from a specific 30-day window, not a guarantee of future pricing.
