This trend is driven by fare differences of up to 30%, making connecting flights an attractive option for budget-conscious flyers.

High Costs of Direct Flights Direct international flights from Ahmedabad often come with steep price tags, deterring passengers. For example, a direct flight from Ahmedabad to Toronto costs ₹83,780, including taxes. In comparison, booking a connecting flight through Mumbai or Delhi drastically reduces costs.

Flying from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and then from Mumbai to Toronto can cost as little as ₹50,000, saving travelers over ₹30,000. Similarly, opting for a connecting flight via Delhi reduces the total fare to ₹67,360, still significantly cheaper than the direct option.
