Indira Gandhi International Airport

Indira Gandhi International Airport is, without doubt, one of the finest airports in India and easily among the most impressive I’ve experienced over the last 10+ years of active and frequent travel. The scale of the airport immediately stands out. It’s massive, modern, and well-planned, with world-class terminals, clean washrooms, good signage, and a wide range of food, shopping, and lounge options. Everything—from security flow to boarding areas—generally reflects international standards, making it a solid gateway to the country. That said, one thing travelers must be mindful of is inter-terminal movement. The airport is huge, and walking between terminals can genuinely take 10–15 minutes, sometimes more depending on crowd and distance. If you have a tight connecting flight, this is where you need to be sharp. Keep an eye on your gate information, move quickly, and don’t assume transfers will be effortless just because it’s the same airport. For first-time visitors, the size can feel overwhelming, but frequent travelers will appreciate how structured and systematic it is. Signage is clear, staff is generally helpful, and once you understand the layout, navigating becomes smoother. Overall, IGI Airport is not just a transit point—it’s an experience in itself. As long as you plan your connections wisely and allow buffer time, it’s one of the best airports to travel through in India.

My experience at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Terminal 3, was excellent. The terminal is well organized and accessible for both domestic and international flights, making travel very convenient. There are plenty of small cafés and stores throughout the terminal, offering good options for food, coffee, and last-minute shopping. The facilities are clean and well maintained, including the restrooms, which also have free drinking water available. I also appreciated the well-maintained smoking zone, which is thoughtfully provided for travelers. Overall, Terminal 3 offers a smooth, comfortable, and traveler-friendly experience.

Excellent airport experience! Delhi Airport is clean, modern, and very well organized with smooth check-in and security processes. The staff are helpful, and amenities like lounges, food options, and Wi-Fi are top-notch. What really stands out is the beautiful theme-based decorations showcasing Indian culture, art, and seasonal designs, which make the airport feel vibrant and welcoming. Truly a world-class airport and a great first impression of India.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the services of the International Airport Management team, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. The airport is exceptionally well-organized, clean, and efficiently managed. From check-in to security and boarding, every process was smooth and hassle-free. The staff members are polite, professional, and always ready to help. Their commitment to maintaining high standards of safety and customer service truly stands out. The signage is clear, facilities are modern, and the overall atmosphere is comfortable for travelers. Baggage handling is quick, immigration officers are friendly, and the entire management team ensures that passengers have a pleasant and stress-free experience. Overall, it’s one of the best-managed international airports I’ve visited. Highly recommended for its efficiency, cleanliness, and customer-focused approach.

IGI Terminal 1 is a modernized domestic terminal with a cleaner, more spacious layout than before. The interiors look fresh and well-maintained, and connectivity via the Magenta Line metro makes it easy to reach. Security and check-in are usually smooth during non-peak hours. However, food outlets and shopping options are still limited compared to other IGI terminals, and occasional operational glitches can cause delays during rush hours. Overall: A decent and improving domestic terminal—functional and clean, but still needs better amenities and smoother operations.

IGI Airport is excellent—big, modern, and very well maintained. Navigation is well organised, and even first-time flyers can find their way easily. The architecture is impressive, with spacious terminals. I visited this airport during transit, and although my connecting flight was cancelled, the staff at the counter quickly rescheduled my flight. I didn’t face any trouble at all. The only challenge was that some staff spoke mostly in the local language and used only a few English words, so it was a bit difficult to understand them. The complimentary lounge access is very helpful for long layovers. The Encalm Lounge is especially good for relaxing and refreshing yourself. There are plenty of restaurants, duty-free shops, and seating areas, so you never feel rushed or crowded.

I recently flew from Delhi to Ahmedabad and back through Indira Gandhi International Airport.The airport facilities were good, but the air quality in Delhi was very bad during my visit.The AQI was extremely high, and the smog was clearly visible everywhere.In the video I uploaded, even the camera couldn’t focus properly because of the smog.It was a tough time for people living in Delhi due to the pollution.Travelers should be aware of the air conditions while visiting.Please take care and stay safe if you are in the city. Hoping the air quality improves soon.

A modest airport, but it has all the services. Procedures are very quick despite the crowds. The duty-free shops are good; the prices aren't low, but most things are available. Overall, the airport is good.
