The insider's guide, from travelers who've actually been through.
T3 is a significant upgrade on DEL’s reputation – air-conditioned, organized, and with decent food once you’re through security. The metro (Orange Line, Airport Express) runs non-stop to New Delhi Railway Station in 20 minutes for ₹60; it’s the right call if you’re heading to central Delhi. Immigration timing is genuinely unpredictable: budget 60 minutes during morning and evening peaks, 30 during quiet windows. Confirm e-visa eligibility before assuming you can leave the terminal – requirements vary by nationality.
