India - Delhi T3 xfer to international flight

Hi,

I am traveling on Jetairways flight (codeshare AA) from HYD to DEL and connecting to AA 293 DEL-ORD. The connection time is about 2hrs and 20mins.

I am wondering if that is enough? Any info/tips would be appreciated.

I've risked and taken the 9W flight from HYD and connected to the AA 293 flight but I did not have checked luggage. The 9W flight arrives into T3 and you take the elevator to the International departure area which is just a couple of minutes walk at the most. If you have checked luggage and/or the inbound 9W flight is delayed then you'll be cutting it very close. I even had time to stop by at the IT lounge for a light snack.

If you have luggage then I'd recommend taking an earlier flight.

good advice....

I just checked in. Was told the checked bags would be xferred and I need not do anything. Also they told me that the flight (HYD-DEL) is delayed 30mins... Let me see how it goes..

Any update on this.. hope u were able to make it safely ?

The scheduled flight was delayed. Found Jetairways staff and had me moved to a JetLite flight leaving around 830pm. They moved my bags to this flight but was asked to collect and recheck in DEL. In DEL, it took a while for the bags to show up. Collected them and tried to go through the xfer gate but was told, I had to recheck at AA afresh. So took the bags all the way to the exit gate almost then took the elevator to the departures upstairs. Had my ticket checked by Police at the gate and then went AA counter and checked in. Did not have much time, just enough to go through immigration and airport security to get to the gate. Again went through AA security and made it back to ORD. Whew!

This is going to be fun. I'm booked on IT MAA-DEL arriving at DEL 09:10 hrs, and then DEL-HEL on AY at 10:20 AM. [not my choice except that every damned other airline is 2x the price].

Did T3-T3 MCT really become an hour?

I don't plan to check any bags but anyway, how close am I cutting this?

IMO, without bags it should be doable BUT without much scope for delay in MAA -DEL..
Am not sure about MCT of 1 hr for T3 domestic -T3 international but which dates r u looking for ? I did a cursory check with dummy dates in 2nd week of may and see Aeroflot also having very competitive fares..

This is for mid june - SV, LH etc are all far higher while IT + AY is 31k in (nonrefundable of course) Y

I just did a check for MAA - HEL on travelocity for ongoing on 12th june with return on 17th june and see 9W+SN priced the lowest and then 9W + AY via London priced the lowest..
Ofcourse ur dates may differ..
