Q. What are the other important things to keep in mind while travelling from Terminal 3?
A. Terminal 3 is one of the largest and most modern airport terminals of the world. However, there are some teething troubles as typically expected at the beginning of a massive project. These will be sorted out eventually. The new terminal is expected to provide a much improved experience to people travelling from Delhi. Here’s what to expect for the next few days:
- Expect some traffic jams on the roads leading to Terminal 3 as the city adjusts to additional traffic getting routed to these roads. It is strongly advised to start early for the airport to make sure you reach the airport on time.
- The airlines recommend you reach the airport two hours prior to departure of your flight to ensure on-time departure.
- Please check the updated flight schedule with the airline before you start from home as some flights are likely to get delayed.
- If you are arriving at Terminal 1 and have to catch an onward flight from Terminal 3 (or vice versa), please collect any checked-in baggage and proceed to the catch the inter-terminal shuttle bus.
- Terminal 3 is much bigger in size, so expect to walk a longer distance inside the terminal from the check-in counters to the boarding gates.
- Your baggage may take longer to reach the baggage carousel at Terminal 3 – This is expected only for the first few days as the airlines adjust to the new facility and the baggage collection time is expected to improve once things get streamlined.
