Delhi to Kuwait City Flights

What's new in Delhi

• October 2025: The rebuilt Terminal 2 at Indira Gandhi International Airport reopened on 26 October 2025 after a closure that began in April 2025, and a share of IndiGo and Air India domestic flights moved into it. Check the terminal printed on the boarding pass before leaving for the airport.
• February 2026: The full 82 km Namo Bharat regional rail corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram in Meerut was inaugurated on 22 February 2026, giving south-east Delhi a fast rail link to Ghaziabad and Meerut.
• June 2026: Noida International Airport at Jewar (DXN) began scheduled flights on 15 June 2026, with IndiGo operating the first service. For some domestic routes it is a practical alternative for travellers based in Noida and Greater Noida.

Tips for travellers

For a two or three day stay, Connaught Place, Paharganj and Karol Bagh sit on the Blue and Yellow metro lines, while Aerocity suits early departures because it is next to the airport. The Delhi Metro is the quickest way across the city, and a smart card or a QR ticket bought on a phone saves time at the counters. October to March is the main sightseeing season, though smog can be heavy in November, and Diwali week fills hotels and trains. May and June are extremely hot.

The Red Fort is closed on Mondays. At Jama Masjid and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, remove your shoes and cover your shoulders and legs; the gurudwara also asks everyone to cover their head and lends scarves at the entrance. Swaminarayan Akshardham does not allow phones or cameras inside, so leave them in the cloakroom or at the hotel.

Tips for travellers from India

A base around the central waterfront suits Kuwait Towers and an evening seafront walk, while accommodation nearer Souq Al Mubarakiya makes the old commercial streets easier to revisit. Salmiya is another distinct hotel and dining area, farther along the coast; choose it for plans in that district rather than assuming it adjoins the old souq. Kuwait International Airport has several separately accessed terminals, so the airline’s building matters when setting a taxi pickup point.

Jazeera Airways uses its dedicated Terminal 5. A pickup arranged at the generic airport entrance can therefore be inconvenient if the driver expects another terminal. In the city, reserve a substantial visit for the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre instead of fitting it between the souq and Kuwait Towers. Its museum setting is different from Al Shaheed Park, which supplies the outdoor walking part of an itinerary. Souq Al Mubarakiya is better explored by following its connected trading lanes than by repeatedly driving between nearby shops. Kuwait Towers is a destination with its own entrance and viewing arrangements, not simply an unrestricted waterfront lookout. A short stay can be organised as a central market-and-waterfront day followed by a cultural-centre day, reducing the number of coastal road crossings.
