There are specific reasons why I like Delhi airport and wish other airports in India take Delhi airport as a benchmark and follow the guidelines.
1. Drinking water for city prices
I could buy a bottle of drinking water for just 10 INR (500 ml), which is same as city price. Vending machines inside Delhi airport sell stuff at MRP, which is great. Most airports a bottle of water will cost 50 to 100 INR
2. Assurance that everything is same as city prices
3. Great metro connectivity
- Delhi airport has great metro connectivity to city, saving us thousands of rupees on taxi expenses.
- Mumbai has metro but not close enough to airport
- Bengaluru- don't even ask. Airport is 100 kms from city and no train, no metro. (At least there are buses)
- Chennai airport is good in this aspect
4. Check in at Shivaji Stadium Metro
Customers of Air India and few other airlines do not have to bring their check-in bag all the way to airport. They can check them in at Shivaji Stadium metro. A lot convenient. However this service is available only with Air India and few other airlines.
Airports have hidden intention to extract as much money as possible from passengers, who are a captive audience and if not left with much options could be forced to shell more money. Good that Delhi airport has kept some basic things affordable for its passengers.
