London’s long-haul gateway at Heathrow sits roughly 14 miles west of central London, and it is from here that most journeys to Amritsar begin, although Southall Travel can also ticket departures from Gatwick or Stansted when demand dictates. The agency works closely with Air India for the fastest non-stop options and with Qatar Airways for popular one-stop itineraries via Doha, giving travellers a choice between an eight-to-nine-hour direct hop or a 12--15-hour connecting service. The great-circle distance is about 3,930 miles, so you’ll cross around half the earth’s longitude yet still land in time for a late Punjabi lunch thanks to the favourable time difference.
Touching down at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ), you’re only seven miles north-west of Amritsar’s Golden Temple and Old City lanes; taxis cover the run in little more than 20 minutes. If you prefer the rails, Amritsar Junction, Punjab’s mainline hub with services to Delhi, Chandigarh and beyond, lies just over six miles from the terminal, while smaller suburban stops such as Chheharta sit even closer. With immigration formalities brisk and a compact single-building layout, you can move from arrivals hall to a plate of buttery kulcha in town quicker than on many bigger Indian gateways. All told, the London-to-Amritsar run marries the convenience of Heathrow with Southall Travel’s airline network to deliver one of the swiftest and most spiritually rewarding routes between the UK and India.
