Many times you keep circling for 30-45 minutes delaying the landing.
Last time it took me 20 minutes in the business class immigration line
because many flights landed around that time..

I would book next BOM-DEL domestic flight and see if they will
allow you to standby on this one if you make it...

F.A.
I hear you. BOM airspace must be pretty busy that time of the night.

I usually fly into DEL, and somehow I am amongst the first to hit the immigration lines. Then again, usually I arrive around 11pm-midnight, possibly beating the early a.m. rush hour.
