T2 handles all international plus Air India domestic. - >- IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa can appear on T1 or T2—always trust the boarding pass, not habit. - >- Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) stations at both T1 and T2; T2 now has a ~100 m FOB walk into the terminal. - >- Free inter-terminal coach; door-to-door still often 35–45 minutes including walks and traffic. - >- FY25 traffic ~55M passengers; T2 is the full-service showpiece, T1 is functional and busier at dawn. - >- CSMIA's live board often shows ~4 min entry / ~15 min check-in / ~8 min security—still arrive early for peak banks. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: 'Beat the 06:00–09:00 domestic crush' detail: >- Contract lounges and T1/T2 domestic banks pack hard Monday–Friday mornings for DEL/BLR/HYD bank;
