Landing at Terminal\u202f3 of Delhi\u2019s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) after a long flight from the USA often feels like both relief and chaos. Most USA to Delhi flights<\/strong> arrive between 1\u202fam and 3\u202fam, when the airport is quieter but still bustling with passengers looking to rest or reach their next destination. IGI\u2019s T3 is equipped to make international arrivals smooth and comfortable, whether you are planning to stay overnight at the airport, need a baggage porter service, have a connecting flight to catch, or require assistance at the airport.<\/p>\n Delhi Airport Terminal 3 has decent accommodation for overnight international arrivals from USA and other countries, with domestic connections in the morning. Staying within the terminal is the most convenient choice for family travellers and senior citizens. The international terminal has several comfortable places to spend the night on an hourly rate.<\/p>\n Not all domestic flights operate from Terminal 3. Many international arrivals transfer from T3 to T2 and T1 for domestic connections at IGI DEL Airport. As T3 is getting upgrades to its capacity, Air India shifted some of its domestic operations to T2 and T1 with effect from 26 October, requiring international passengers to switch terminals. If the domestic flight number on Air India flight tickets<\/a><\/span> from USA to India starts with 1 (for example, A1 1230), it denotes transfer from T3 to T2 for domestic connection. Air India\u2019s domestic flights with three-digit number continue to operate from T3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport provides free shuttle bus service every 20 minutes for inter-terminal transfer. It takes only 15 minutes to transfer from T3 to T2 at DEL Airport and 45 minutes for T3 to T1 transfer. The free shuttle service operates 24\/7. Make sure your international to domestic connection has minimum 3 hours for immigration clearance, baggage recheck-in, and terminal transfer. It may take more than 3 hours given a huge influx of international arrivals in the thick of a travel season.<\/p>\nOvernight Stay at Delhi Airport Terminal 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n
