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.

IXR: Ranchi airport. Ranchi airport planning should be based on the actual terminal, traffic pattern and the first stop after landing. For Indian domestic routes, keep extra time around festivals, long weekends, wedding dates and early morning airport entry.
