Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is Delhi’s main international gateway and a major South Asian hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and growing low-cost airline operations. Located about 16–20 km southwest of central New Delhi, it can typically take 30–60 minutes to reach the city by taxi depending on traffic; the Airport Express train is faster on paper (around 20 minutes) while metro connections and app-based cabs provide frequent, generally affordable options. Fares can vary widely but travelers often find rail and shared rides cheaper than private taxis. Pros: extensive international connections, modern terminals and good transfer facilities; cons: peak-hour congestion and sometimes long security lines.
