AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
If connecting from an international flight to a domestic one, budget extra time for immigration queues which can be slow during peak arrival banks.
IndiGo passengers connecting domestic-to-domestic benefit from the airport's compact single-terminal layout and quick walk times.
Check whether your bags are checked through to the final destination, as many itineraries require baggage reclaim and recheck on international connections.
Signage is clear and the terminal is not overly large, so even first-time visitors can navigate without needing extra buffer for wayfinding.
Avoid tight connections during late evening and early morning banks when several international long-haul flights land close together.
