Approximate flight times to Delhi: From London is 8 hours 25 minutes; from New York is 16 hours; from Los Angeles is 24 hours; from Toronto is 18 hours and from Sydney is 17 hours.
Airport facilities: These include foreign exchange facilities, a tourist information counter, snack bars, a bookshop and duty-free shops. Car hire (chauffeur-driven and self-drive) is available at both domestic and international arrivals. For self-drive hire, it is advisable to book ahead so that the car of your choice is available.
Transport to the city: Although metered taxis are available outside the airport, it is far easier to pre-book at the reliable Delhi Traffic Police Pre-Paid Taxi Booth which is located outside the international terminal entrance. Here, a ticket is given to the allocated driver in lieu of a cash payment. You should only surrender your ticket to the driver once you have reached your destination. The journey to central Delhi should take 30 to 45 minutes. Hotels and travel agents can, by prior agreement, arrange airport transfer by private taxi; 5-star hotels usually offer complimentary airport transfers.
