Tips for 2 hr Connections
Arrive well ahead of schedule since IXD has limited flight frequency and rebooking options are scarce if you miss a connection.
Expect manual and sometimes slow processing at check-in and security due to the airport's modest staffing and infrastructure.
Keep in mind there is no true 'connection' infrastructure here — most travelers simply exit and re-enter for a new booking rather than transiting airside.
During Kumbh Mela or festival periods, expect much higher congestion and longer queues than the usual quiet baseline.
Carry printed documents and confirmations, as digital kiosks and self-service options are minimal.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal building at IXD, so all passengers move through the same check-in, security, and gate lounge area on foot. There is no shuttle or train system, and the distance from curb to gate is typically a five-to-ten-minute walk at most.
