Delhi Transit Hotel: 12 hour layover at Delhi Airport: International Transfer

Рет қаралды 36,150

Күн бұрын

I have stayed at the Delhi Transit Hotel 3 time in the past two months.
Once was unplanned when I missed a connecting flight and Air India arranged for me to stay at the transit hotel while I waited 24 hours for my next flight.
The transit hotel is an IHG property and branded as a Holiday Inn Express.
If you are arriving and departing on international flights, you do not need to pass through immigration to access the hotel. But you must book the 'International Wing'.

I don’t think I need to change terminals and I’m not taking any check in baggage’s to make the transit smoother. My question is do I need to apply for a transit visa ? My connecting flights are less than 12 hours apart. Thank you. 🙏

I really appreciated finding this video as it de-confused me about what to do in Delhi airport. I am flying into Delhi with Malaysia Airlines and leaving with Finnair early the next morning. I made a booking with the hotel but just noticed on their web site that they require a 'counter-issued boarding pass' for the next flight at check-in to the hotel. Does the International Transfer Desk at Delhi issue boarding passes? I am not sure how I will be able to get a paper boarding pass any other way. Can you please enlighten me? Thanks, Michael

@cruisingandsnoozing1479 Жыл бұрын

It depends if your flights are on the same ticket (MAS may be able to check you through to your destination and give you a second boarding pass). If you have carry on only, the transfer desk may check you in to finnair (I'm not sure). You should check with MAS. I would get an Indian Evisa to be safe so that you can go through immigration at Delhi, check in to Finnair, get a boarding pass and then go to the transit hotel when you go back through immigration. (Or you could stay in Aerocity once you are in India)

@mcbessell Жыл бұрын

@@cruisingandsnoozing1479 No, my flights are separate, both bought from Qantas. The airlines appear to be happy with boarding passes on a phone app, or home-printed e-tickets. I think I will take your advice and get an Indian e-Visa, check in properly, and cancel the reservation at Holiday Inn Express. I only have to kill 8hrs in the airport. I don’t think I want to leave the airport, though. Thanks again.

I have a flight from Sydney to Vienna and I have a flight transfer in Delhi and I'm staying at the airport hotel because the waiting time is 20 hours, both flights are with air India, do I need a visa to transit in India ?

@cruisingandsnoozing1479 3 ай бұрын

If you are staying at the transit hotel within the international terminal, you do not need a visa. if you are staying at an airport hotel outside the terminal (in Aerocity for example) then you will need a visa. For a 20 hour stopover I would be inclined to stay at a hotel in Aerocity. The hotels are nicer and you can go outside. It is very easy to get an evisa.

If layover is more than 15 hours for a domestic connecting flight, does Air lndia book and pay Hotel, or you need to book and pay? Appreciate it. Traveling from JFK to DEL to TRv

@cruisingandsnoozing1479 8 ай бұрын

I'm not sure. You would have to ask Air India. They paid for my hotel the time I missed my connection and had to wait 24 hours, but that was their fault. They did not pay for my hotel when I had a scheduled 12 hour layover.

@cruisingandsnoozing1479 Жыл бұрын

if you want to go into town you will have to go through immigration and exit the airport which rules out the transit hotel. But there are plenty of hotels in aerocity which is a 5 min cab ride or 1 metro stop from the terminal. From there you can catch the metro into the city.

You book domestic wing - you can only get access to international wing if you have an onward international boarding pass. For domestic wing you have to go through immigration and enter hotel from landslide. Which means you may as well stay in aerocity.
