Enough transfer time in Delhi?

Ouzodave · Nov 2nd, 2007, 23:01

I am arriving at Indira Gandhi int'l at 21.05 my connecting flight to Mumbai is with Goair at the Domestic terminal at 22.55. Have i cut this to fine? Don't think i can hang around for the shuttle bus. How much will a cab cost from Int'l to domestic?

you have cut it TOOO fine...these are the peak air traffic times and its not unusual for a flight to hover over Delhi for more than 30 minutes...

Add to that Immigration, checkin baggage and you are in for major trouble..

Goair has a checkin time of 40 minutes or something prior to departure...

NOT RECOMMENDED !!!

Do you think i should change the flight? Theres a flight at 05:20 the next day with goair. So maybe i should hang around the domestic terminal untill this early morning flight. Damn! I knew maybe this would cause me problems

Shashank is correct - Goair has a very strict check-in deadline of 40 minutes before departure, and so you must be at the check-in desk by 22.15. Even if you land on time in Delhi (and that's by no means certain) you're cutting it very fine indeed.

Change the flight.

Yes, i see what you mean and from what i have read there probably is no chance of getting over to the domestic in time. I have only ever flown out of Delhi int'l and not in. I shall change it

thanks.

Changed it to the 05:20 flight the next morning. I am not taking any chances and i want to take it easy

not rush around.

I think your blood pressure will thank you as delay is the nature of travel in India and the US..
