(Screengrab) Since being shared a day ago, the post has collected over 1,500 upvotes and tons of comments. Many people shared similar experiences while at Delhi Airport. What did Reddit users say about this post?“Here in Singapore, my husband inss on leaving just 40 mins before his flight for the airport as there’s self-check-in and even the immigration is unmanned (passport scanner). Heck, once he reached the airport only 20 minutes before his China flight, I was convinced he’d miss the flight, but he still managed to board with 10 minutes left to complete boarding. Then we have to take our flight from Delhi. Sometimes, even reaching 3 hours early is not enough as the check-in and security check takes 2 hours easily, especially during peak hours (the 11 pm flight I take for Singapore is the worst timed as there are dozens of other flights for Dubai, Australia, and so on which makes the airport look like a railway station),” wrote a Reddit user. Another shared, “We have to reach Delhi airport five hours early in case of an international flight. It takes 40 minutes to get into the airport, 20 minutes to drop off the checked-in baggage, and 30-45 minutes for security and immigration. I’ve never seen a Western country with exit immigration.” “What terminal were you at? I was in IGI myself this morning and had to deal with many unruly college kid types creating so much nuisance at T2,” added a third. What are your thoughts on this Reddit post about Delhi Airport?
