I love airports. In fact, airports may just be my favourite places to spend time, except for the odd terminal that makes me question my life choices. The smaller the airport, the more I enjoy it. The bigger the airport, the more excited I get. I am that person who will happily choose a flight with a long layover, especially when travelling solo. Give me a few hours at Delhi T1, T2 or T3, and I am perfectly happy.
I have even reached Delhi airport at night, spent a few quiet hours there and taken an early morning flight back home to Bhopal. If airports ever started charging entry tickets, I would probably still visit once a month. But there is one thing that can make even an airport lover slightly nervous. Changing terminals!
So my airport-loving advice is simple. Check your departure terminal before you leave home, keep your boarding pass handy and give yourself enough time for the transfer. Once you know the routes, changing terminals at Delhi Airport really is much less confusing than it first seems. Here’s what to know about the Grand Train Tour

Delhi Airport has three terminals, and your next flight can sometimes leave from a completely different one. The good news is that getting between them is fairly simple once you know where to go. A terminal change is not just a change of building. If you are on a domestic connection but with different carriers, and moving to another terminal, you may need to collect your baggage, exit the terminal, travel to the next terminal and check in again. Security screening also has to be completed again at the departure terminal.
