I am aware that Chandigarh Airport is operational and would like to know if there are regular flights which go from Delhi to Chandigarh. If so then I would also like to know what the cost of flights from Delhi to Chandigarh is for a one-way journey. I know it would not be cheaper than getting a taxi, but if the difference is not a lot, I would rather get a flight.
