San Francisco International (SFO) serves as the region’s primary international hub, handling a mix of long-haul carriers and major U.S. airlines alongside some premium international partners; it’s generally seen as mid- to premium-priced compared with smaller Bay Area airports. Located about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco, transfer times to the city center are typically 25–40 minutes by BART or 20–45 minutes by taxi/rideshare depending on traffic; BART fares usually run in the low-to-mid single digits while rideshares and taxis can be substantially higher. Pros: extensive international connections, full services, and frequent public transit; cons: can be busy during peak periods and security lines may take longer.

Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is Delhi’s main international hub, handling the bulk of long-haul and regional flights and serving full-service carriers alongside many low-cost airlines. Located roughly 16–20 km southwest of the city center, it’s typically reachable by the Delhi Airport Express (about 20–30 minutes, fares usually higher than buses), metro Line 3/4 (30–50 minutes, budget-friendly), taxis or app-based rides (30–60 minutes depending on traffic, variable fares). The airport can be convenient for international connections and offers extensive facilities; however, peak-time congestion and variable security lines mean transfers can be slower than expected. For strictly domestic or low-cost options, some travelers may compare alternatives on scheduling rather than distance.
