Delhi becoming a hotspot in the Global map. Things are changing here for Good. This statement flashed exclusively because of the astonishing T3 Terminal which is both a domestic Terminal & the International terminal too.
GMRs have really done a good job in building this Airport. Cheers!!!
Currently T3 Airport caters for
1. Kingfisher
2. Jet Airways
3. Air India
I suppose the airport has been benchmarked with the Bangkok International Airport.
The Car parking, Cabs for pick up & drop, Arrivals & departures, Lounge, Food Court, and Boarding pass counters, Domestic terminal & International Terminal keeping them aside, Shopping area & Internet. This post is about the T3 Terminal, its convenience & conveyance via Metro & other facilities they have offered.
Highlights for Appreciation:
1. Metro –itself
2. Local Metro & Airport Metro –Connectivity
3. City Check in (KF/Jet Airways/Air India Only)
4. Travelator
Metro –Itself:
The City growing big & bigger the traffic is growing exponential to it. The Metro is a must & savior for the public. Over & Above, if you have a Metro card, it would still save your time.The Metro card can be availed at any metro station by 100 rs deposit & further charging it.Every time you use a smart card for traveling, you would be charged 10% lesser compared to Counter price for the Metro Token. The Metro is designed such a nice way, that you can travel with in the city with much convenience, fast & ultimately connected. There are no chairs or resting places. This keeps the crowd keep on moving.
Attention:
Although they had tried to eliminate the possibilities of Crowd gathering for any reason, it’s India & people love waiting & queuing up here. Every bogie has three doors; they should use it for one exit in the middle & the other two for entry on the extreme ends. Now, the awareness on the Old Delhi railway station has increased. The crowd is heavy lining up to board the Metro. This will create havoc, if some necessary action is not taken.
Airport Metro Express:
This Metro is operated by a Private Player (I suppose it is ADAG Reliance). They charge INR 80/- for one passenger to travel from New Delhi Railway station to Airport Terminal T3.I feel this is very much acceptable .The Airport Metro Express & the Local Metro interconnection happens at New Delhi Metro station. Detail…
Attention:
As of now, I couldn’t find anything.
City Check-in:
The City check in is very convenient, you can check-in your luggage in New Delhi Metro Express & you have a 2 hrs break time, for roaming around.
Note: This check in opens only for Flights departure within 6 hrs
80 Rs will be charged, which you will be using for commuting till T3 Airport. The same token will be used for traveling though the Metro.
Attention:
This would be of very convenient if extended for Flights before 24hrs
