Welcome to the Delhi Airport Departure Guide. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free journey, we recommend arriving early to allow ample time for check-in, security and boarding procedures. This guide covers everything you need to know, from reaching the airport to navigating the various services and facilities available.

Reaching the Airport

Reaching the Airport


Plan your journey to Delhi Airport well in advance to ensure you have enough time for check-in and security. The airport is easily accessible by taxi, ride-sharing services and the Delhi Metro with the Delhi Airport Express Line offering a direct connection to the airport. Always check traffic conditions ahead of time to avoid delays and use the designated drop-off zones for a smooth entry into the terminal.

 Check-in Process


Arriving early is key to ensuring a smooth check-in experience. Once you arrive, head to your airline’s check-in counter, or use the self-service kiosks for faster processing. Be sure to have your boarding pass, ID and any other travel documents ready. If you’ve checked in online, proceed directly to the baggage drop area.

Security & Baggage Screening

Security & Baggage Screening


After check-in, proceed to security screening. Here, you will need to separate electronics, liquids, and other items according to the airport’s security guidelines. Baggage screening is strictly enforced, so ensure that your checked baggage complies with weight and content restrictions. For hand luggage, make sure it meets the size limits and avoid carrying any prohibited items to ensure a smooth security process.

Immigration & Customs


For international flights, head to immigration with your passport, boarding pass, and visa (if applicable). Be prepared to answer any questions asked by the officials.
