Is three hours enough for an international-domestic transfer at Delhi?
My International flight will be reaching New Delhi IGI at 2:45 AM and I am planning to book a domestic flight at 5:45 AM.
Is three hours sufficient for me to move from International to Domestic?
I believe there must be a shuttle service inside the airport to transfer me from International to Domestic but still I don't know if Customs time at IGI could cause any delay or not.
Best Answer
Yes.
Advice from Air India is:
While international flights arrive at T3, domestic connections may depart from T3 (Air India, Jet Airways, Vistara airlines) or from T1D (Indigo, Spice Jet & Go Air).
Journey time by free bus or paid cab between the two terminals is about 10 to 15 min.
So for T3 to T1 add 20 minutes for the bus schedule and 15 for the journey time.
Some of the bus schedule delay might be skipped if taking a taxi, for which there are two options, 'standard' (Mega or Meru Cab) and Delhi Police Pre-Paid cab for which people usually have to wait.
