Airport Information & Terminals

DEL: Indira Gandhi International Airport. Delhi airport is large and terminal-sensitive. T3 is easiest by Airport Express Metro; T1 and T2 need a cab, shuttle or careful terminal planning. Connaught Place and central Delhi are usually workable from the airport, but office traffic and winter fog can change the whole plan.

CMB: Colombo airport. Airport access in Colombo depends on arrival time, terminal, hotel location and local traffic. Confirm the airport name on the ticket, then choose between official taxi, app cab, airport bus, rail or hotel transfer based on luggage and time of day.
