Situation: elderly family connecting in either DEL or BOM as separate indian domestic ticket. Picking up AY metal next morning for 8am departure to HEL. They want an easy and smooth experience as possible.
During January/February winter months, so not sure if the "fog" is still a problem at DEL and needs consideration as well.
Looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.
January is definitely a high fog risk time for DEL — way more so for late night/early morning times than say mid-day daylight times (and more so for early January than say late January/early February), but morning delays happen too because of fog.
My big concern with the fog for an AY departure out of DEL would be if the DEL-departing AY flight is delayed so long that they may misconnect at HEL (if they have an onward flight out of HEL).
We primarily use the HIX T3 for stay-at-terminal overnight transits for DEL T3 international arrivals connecting (on separate tickets) onto domestic departures out of DEL T3. In the other direction, the HIX T3 is also fine.
