Indira Gandhi Airport is about 16 km south-west of central Delhi. The Airport Metro Express is the fastest and most reliable way into the city, avoiding Delhi's notoriously heavy road traffic.
- Airport Metro Express (Orange Line) runs from Terminal 3 to New Delhi station in about 20 minutes, with trains every 10 to 15 minutes from about 4:45 am to 11:30 pm. Shivaji Stadium station is the closest stop to Connaught Place. At New Delhi station you can transfer to the Yellow Line for the wider metro network.
- Prepaid taxis are available from the official Delhi Traffic Police counter outside the Terminal 3 arrivals exit. You pay a fixed fare before leaving the building. This removes the need to negotiate and is the simplest road option for first-timers.
- Uber and Ola both operate at the airport. Download the app before you land.
- DTC buses connect the airport to Connaught Place and ISBT Kashmiri Gate but are much slower, taking 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic.
Ignore touts in the arrivals hall offering rides. Rush hours (8 to 10 am and 5 to 8 pm) can make road travel very slow, so the metro is the better choice if your timing overlaps.
