Turkmenistan Airlines is the market leader on the UK - Birmingham and London to Amritsar Flights Route. All flights to Amritsar stopover at Ashgabat for between 90 minutes and 2 hours. There are 4 flights from Birmingham (BHX) and 2 flights from London Heathrow (LHR) to Amritsar (ATQ) via Ashgabat (ASB). There is also a once weekly flight Birmingham to Delhi and London Heathrow to Delhi.
Turkmenistan normally offers the best value for money flight tickets. With a great reputation for reliability it is now a very popular airline. The service offered is very basic but it gets you to Amritsar on time, normally punctually and reliably.
Ashgabat is a modern airport and there is a bar available. Passengers normally get off and board the same aeroplane. In our experience, passengers appreciate this stop over since it gives them a bit of a break, they can stretch their legs, visit the toilet. Parents with children value the stop over because it allows the children to let off a bit of steam and run around the airport lounge. The journey time from UK to Ashgabat is around 6.5 hours with another 2.5 hour journey time from Ashgabat to Amritsar so the stop over at Ashgabat provides a convenient break.
There is no entertainment on board so our suggestion is to take a good book or magazine to read, your mp3 player to listen to music, some activity or games for the kids or just go to sleep! Food is served in good quantity - both Indian vegetarian and Indian non vegetarian. Please make your request for your meal preference when you book your tickets with Amritsar Travel.
You do not have to reconfirm the outward date since we at Amritsar Travel will do this for you but you must reconfirm your return date. It is important to reconfirm your return flight in India at least 3 days before your return travel. If you do not, the airline is entitled to cancel your return seat.
The details of the airline offices - addresses and telephone numbers are provided in our special Amritsar Travel wallet. You can reconfirm on the phone without visiting the offices. There are convenient offices in Amritsar, Jallandhar, Ludhiana, Chandigarh and Delhi. If you need to change your tickets then you must go to these airline offices. Any changes can only be made in India.
Baggage Allowance is 25 KG plus 5KG hand luggage making a total of 3OKG economy Class and 30KG plus 5KG in business class making a generous 35KG
Turkmenistan Airlines has different types of economy class tickets named after the duration of travel. One Month tickets are strictly non refundable. Four Month, One Year and Business Class tickets are partially refundable. You are allowed one free date change on a four month ticket and multiple free date changes on a one year ticket. Other terms and conditions apply so please ask us if you have any other questions about the terms and conditions of the ticket. Although many passengers go for a One Month Ticket, we have found from experience that it is in your best interest to go for a Four Month ticket in case your plans change.....and believe us they do! Since you may book months in advance, a lot can happen between booking a ticket and flying out. We do not want you to lose the full value of the one month ticket so it is best to pay the extra £20 or so and go for a four month ticket at the time of booking. Cancellation charges do apply but you will normally get approximately 70% of your money back.
Turkmenistan Airlines is very popular on the Birmingham to Amritsar Flights route so please book early. The cheaper tickets get sold very quickly so it is best not to leave it too late.
