Transfer to the City
Taxis are the easiest way to get to central Delhi. Metered taxis are available but it is best to use pre-paid taxis (via the taxi counter in Arrivals). Punjab Tourism coach services are available at the arrival hall at Terminal II, travelling from the airport to Amritsar via Karnal, Ambala, Rajpura, Ludhiana and Jullandhar - the fare is Rs. 550 per person. There are also paid coach services available 24hrs from the area outside the Terminal II Arrival Visitors Hall to various city bus terminals. Coaches leave every hour and cost Rs.50 per person. Car hire (with driver) can be arranged in the Arrivals Hall. Travel time to the city is around 30 minutes by car/taxi and 45 minutes by bus.

Facilities
ATMs are available at Terminal 1A (Domestic) and in the Arrival Visitors Area of the International Terminal. Banks and bureaux de change are also available. Passengers should be prepared for a certain amount of chaos at the airport; customs are slow, the queues for the x-ray machines are long and the staff at the endless security checks are rude. There are no shops or restaurants of note. The only modicum of comfort is the Raj Lounge, where friendly staff are on hand to serve welcome drinks. Travellers with special needs should contact their airline in advance.

Departure Tax
Rs.300.

Time Difference
GMT +5.5.

Contacts
Tel: + 91 (0)22 836 6700.

Transfer to the City
Pre-paid taxis are available outside Arrivals (journey time approx 60 min).

Facilities
ATMs and bureaux de change are available in both terminals along with a number of bars, restaurants and shops. There are limited disabled facilities and travellers with special needs should advise their airline in advance. As with all Indian airports, travellers should be prepared for a certain amount of chaos; queues are long for immigration and the many security checks and endless uniformed staff stand around with no obvious purpose. The restaurants are best avoided and passengers are advised to take their own snacks.

Car Parking
Parking is available at both terminals.

Departure Tax
Rs. 200.
