Pak them in your bags and should not be an issue as long as they dont contain any contraband

As soon as you come out of the green channel ( this has a big green board on top) you will see the prepaid booth at 11 am, there will be no touts there get the ticket keep walking out straight you will see throngs of people waiting to pick up clients / relatives / friends post that is where the toutc begin just ignore show the receipt to the guard and he will guide you where the cabs are.

Do you mean carry-on or checked bags?

Guys
The renovation works of the International Terminal at Delhi Airport are complete. Only 10 more immigration counters are left which will open in Sept. Rest all is done ...

Would love to hear from you guys about what you feel about the renovation works. I can pass on the suggestions to my operations team and see if they can be taken care of.

In a month's time, I'll have both come and gone so I'll pay attention both ways! Thanks for keeping us posted, it's really appreciated.

all i can say is that it did not get in our way , either way. Departure was a bit of a pain but more so owing to crowding, arrival could not have been smoother with the exception of it taking 20 minutes for us to get our bags...

My international flight will arrive at 03.00 am.
Plenty of time to get the KALKA SHTBDI leaving from Rohilla at 07.40 (I already have an e-ticket). Is there a bus from the Intl Airport to Rohilla? If not, how much an I supposed to pay for the taxi (or tuc-tuc)?

Forget about the bus. And the Tuc Tuc too...

The Prepaid taxi would cost you around Rs.200-300..it would be fixed price, mentioned on the chart.

THANKS!!!!!
Do you also know how long does it take to get there?
