To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down of what travellers have reported to us during their time at New Delhi Airport.
What to Expect
This airport has plenty of overnight departures, so most travellers felt safe and not bothered while spending the night.
The airport is divided into 2 current terminals, T1, and T3. T1 houses domestic and low-cost airlines. T3 is a newly built terminal for mostly international flights, with some national airlines.
The facilities in modern T3 are simple but clean.
A few Landside eateries are open 24-hours; see Airport Guide for locations.
Free WiFi is available. See WiFi information in the airport guide below.
Where to Sleep
T3’s Airside has plenty of options to stretch out if you can grab a spot. Look for the couches in the main shopping area. There’s plenty of seats with and without armrests, and carpet in most spots.
It never totally quiets down with so many overnight flights, so bring those earplugs and eye masks.
A few travellers report airport staff asking them to move from the carpeted floor.
For uninterrupted sleep, there is a transit hotel and sleeping pods inside the airport and several hotels are located nearby. See Airport Hotels in the airport guide below.
Good to Know
Showers are available in T3. See Showers in the airport guide below.
Economy class travellers can buy entry to many airport lounges, and some have shower facilities. See Airport Lounges in the airport guide below for locations and rates.
