BEFORE ARRIVAL AT LUCKNOW

Please ask your travel agencies to book confirmed flights right up to Lucknow, as it is here that we will receive you and see you off. Morning flights for both arrival and departure should always be preferred as the prevailing weather conditions at the time of the Conference are not very good (fog prevails). Kindly let us know the Flight/Train number, date and time of arrival at Lucknow. Please also send us the complete travel schedule including flight numbers and arrival and departures times at Delhi International Airport and Delhi Domestic Airport.

Ask your travel agency to give you the New Delhi Office phone numbers of the airline you will be arriving at and departing from Delhi so that the return journey tickets can be reconfirmed by phone 3 days before you leave Lucknow. There will be telephone call or fax charge. The staff will of course help you.

Nearest International Airport: Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi (it is also called Terminal 2). Domestic Airport in Delhi: Palam Airport, Delhi (it is also called Terminal 1). The domestic airport is about 10 kilometers from the international airport. At the Domestic Airport, there are two terminals 1A and 1B. If one is booked on Indian Airlines or Alliance Air, then one needs to go to Terminal 1A. If one is booked on Jet Airways or Sahara Airlines, one has to go to Terminal 1B.

Mode of Transport: Taxis from Pre-Paid Taxi Booth at the International Airport. There is a coach service from the International Airport to the Domestic Airport. A pre-paid taxi (accommodates 5) would cost approximately USD 6.00 for a one-way journey. The coach journey would cost less.

Note: Don't forget to exchange some of the currency you are carrying into Indian Rupees immediately upon your arrival at the International Airport. You should make payments to the taxi operators in cash and in Indian Rupees. You should request some small denomination notes of Indian Rupees (10, 20, 50 and 100) in addition to any 500 Rupee notes that you may get from the exchange counters.

Traveling time: 30 minutes

ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION IN NEW DELHI

In case you need to stay overnight at Delhi, there are dormitories available at the Domestic Airport (named Airport Hotel) at approximately USD 10 per person per night of stay. There are some good hotels available near the domestic airport also.

You can ask your travel agent or agency to book you into a hotel and also ask the hotel to receive your delegation upon arrival at the International Airport, transfer to hotel for the overnight stay, and subsequent drop at the Domestic Airport. This can be done against issue of vouchers by your travel agent.

Please remember that the flight timings are liable to change, especially during winters due to bad weather like fog. We therefore request that delegations, for their return journey, ask their respective travel agencies to book the first morning flight from Lucknow to Delhi to avoid any inconvenience at the last moment. It is also very important to remember that at least five (5) hours (1 hour for disembarking, 3 hours for checking-in, and a 1-hour cushion time) are needed to change from an international flight to domestic flight and vice-versa at Delhi. Hence, you would be well advised to plan your onward/return journey accordingly.
