We check what is flying for your dates. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport serves Ahmedabad and Gujarat, including Bharuch, Surat and Vadodara, the home region of many British Gujarati Muslim families. ## Flying into Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (AMD) Ahmedabad's airport sits in Hansol, on the northern edge of the city and only around 9 to 10 km from the old walled city. It is the main gateway to Gujarat, so it serves not just Ahmedabad itself but families heading on to Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Nadiad, Godhra and the villages of central Gujarat. If your family home is closer to Surat, it is worth asking us to price Surat (STV) or Vadodara (BDQ) as well, usually with a domestic connection. ## Which UK airports work best London Heathrow and Gatwick give you the widest choice. Nonstop flights between London and Ahmedabad have operated at times, but schedules change, so we check for your dates. Most travellers fly with one stop, and the typical routings are: - **Via Delhi or Mumbai**, connecting to a short domestic hop of around 1 to 1.5 hours - **Via Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi**, which suits Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds Bradford passengers - **Via Istanbul**, sometimes useful when Gulf fares jump in the holidays A nonstop flight, when available, takes around 9 to 10 hours. One-stop journeys usually take around 12 to 16 hours door to door, depending on the layover. ## When UK Gujarati families travel Britain has long-standing Gujarati Muslim communities in Leicester, Bolton, Blackburn, Preston, Dewsbury, Batley and north-west London, and many still have close family in Gujarat. December and January are the busiest weeks for weddings and family visits, as the weather is dry and mild. Mid-January also brings Uttarayan, the kite festival, when the city is lively and seats are in demand. Summer is very hot until the monsoon arrives around late June, so many families avoid May and early June unless the school holidays leave no choice. ## Arriving and getting into the city Terminal 2 handles international flights and Terminal 1 handles most domestic ones, so if you connect onto a separate domestic ticket, allow time to move between them. From the airport, prepaid taxis and app-based cabs run to Lal Darwaza, Juhapura, Navrangpura and the riverfront in around 25 to 40 minutes, longer at rush hour. If relatives are collecting you, agree a meeting point at the arrivals forecourt, as only passengers are allowed inside the terminal. ## Practical tips - Bring a printed copy of your Indian e-Visa or OCI details; staff at check-in in the UK will often ask to see them. - Gujarat is a dry state, which matters little to most of our travellers but is good to know if you are hosting non-Gujarati guests.
