train to Delhi then flying to Goa

goosemoose · Dec 25th, 2006, 09:17

Hi. I am going to be training into Delhi (train 2559 Shiv ganga express) so that I can take a flight to goa. The 2559 is due to arrive in Delhi at 7:20 am. The flight that I would ideally like to take departs Delhi airport at 11:20. Is 4 hours enough time to account for possible train delays, transport to the airport, etc? How long should it take to get from NDLS to the airport by taxi? How much should this taxi cost? There is also a 2:30 flight from Delhi to Goa. Is the 2:30 flight the more realistic way to go?

thanks.

When are you comming to Delhi in Winters there is too much of fog and train get delayed, so better opt for 2.30 flight, and the distance from NDLS to Domestic port is around 10-12 Kms. thats not too much

And for Taxi, when you are out of New Delhi Railway station, just head towards Pre-paid booth for taxi. they will charge reasonably and you will have to pay money at this booth not to the driver so no worries.. And dont get into sweet talks of any driver when you get down at railway station . the pre-paid booth is just outside the railway station..

For anything more so write to me again..

Yes the 2:30 flight is recommended.
