China Southern to New Delhi, Kathmandu & Dhaka: Melbourne from $742 Return, Sydney $802, Adelaide $877, Perth $929, Brisbane $970

About the Airline

China Southern Airlines is one of China’s largest carriers, based in Guangzhou. It isn’t part of a global alliance, but runs a wide range of bilateral codeshares, and these South Asia fares route through its Guangzhou (CAN) hub - worth checking your connection time against before booking, especially on the shorter layovers.

About the Destinations

New Delhi mixes Mughal-era history with modern India - the Red Fort, Humayun’s Tomb and Qutub Minar sit alongside the chaos of Chandni Chowk’s markets and the wide boulevards of Lutyens’ Delhi. It’s also the easiest gateway for day trips to Agra and the Taj Mahal. More at Incredible India.

Kathmandu is the gateway to the Himalayas, but the valley itself is worth lingering in - Boudhanath Stupa, the Swayambhunath (“Monkey Temple”) hilltop complex, and the palace squares of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur Durbar are all UNESCO-listed. It’s also the standard starting point for Everest Base Camp and Annapurna treks. More at the Nepal Tourism Board.

Dhaka is a dense, fast-moving river city - Lalbagh Fort and the pink-hued Ahsan Manzil palace trace its Mughal and colonial past, Old Dhaka’s rickshaw-choked lanes and riverfront at Sadarghat are worth a wander, and Louis Kahn’s Jatiyo Sangsad Bhaban (National Parliament House) is one of the region’s architectural landmarks.

China Southern has return fares to all three cities from five Australian gateways, with the lowest leads out of Melbourne and Sydney.

The cheapest lead fares by origin:

• Melbourne from $742 return (New Delhi)
• Sydney from $802 return (New Delhi)
• Adelaide from $877 return (New Delhi)
• Perth from $929 return (New Delhi)
• Brisbane from $970 return (New Delhi)

Travel spans a wide window from late September 2026 through to May 2027 depending on the route - see each table below for the exact dates and cheapest fare on that city pair.
