How do I get from Delhi Airport to the city?+

Delhi Metro Airport Express — INR 60, 19 min direct to New Delhi Station + Connaught Place. Best option. Station inside T3 arrivals. Uber / Ola — INR 400-800 (30-90 min depending on traffic). Pre-paid taxi at the counter — INR 500-900. Avoid touts at arrivals.

How do I get between Delhi airport terminals?+

Free shuttle bus between T1, T2, T3 — every 10-15 min, 15-20 min ride. Allow 45-60 min minimum for inter-terminal connection including re-security. T1 ↔ T3 connections can be tight — most travellers prefer to book direct-to-T3 flights when possible.

Can I leave Delhi Airport during a layover?+

Yes — India offers e-Visa to 165+ nationalities including US/UK/EU/Canada/Australia/Japan/Korea. Apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in BEFORE flying ($25-$80 depending on duration). 30-day to 5-year options. The Delhi Metro Airport Express reaches Connaught Place in 19 min. Allow 5+ hours round trip — Delhi traffic can be unpredictable.

How early should I arrive at Delhi Airport?+

Domestic: 2.5 hours. International: 3.5 hours. Indian airport security is thorough — laptops + tablets + power banks all need separate screening. Immigration on departure (international) can hit 60+ min queues at peak (overnight European departures). DigiYatra (face recognition) speeds it up — enroll via the app before flying.
