Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) is Punjab's main international gateway — direct flights from the UK, Canada, Malaysia and the Middle East land here. Most passengers are Punjabis returning home, and their most common onward destination isn't Amritsar city — it's the hills.
We handle the odd hours of NRI flights — 2 am UK arrivals, 4 am Middle East departures — with the same fixed fare and driver quality as daytime runs.
Amritsar Airport → Pathankot is 110 km / 2 hours. → Dalhousie is 190 km / 4½ hours. → Dharamshala is 200 km / 4½ hours. All three are among our most-booked onward routes.
Many families like a two-hour Golden Temple darshan on the way from ATQ to Pathankot. We include the detour without changing the fare.
Every onward route from Amritsar Airport has a fixed one-way fare. Times below assume normal traffic and clear roads.
