Avoid These Mistakes on the Delhi-Rajkot Route
A smooth trip requires knowing the local transport limits at the new Hirasar airport and preparing for Delhi's winter weather.
Transport and Timing Errors
Do not assume the airport is in the city centre. The new Rajkot International Airport is 30 km away from the city. Relying solely on app cabs like Ola or Uber can be risky, as coverage can be limited and subject to surge pricing due to the distance.
Avoid booking early morning flights out of Delhi between December and February if you have a strict schedule, as heavy winter fog frequently grounds flights until visibility improves.
Key Takeaways for Delhi to Rajkot Travellers
- Airport distance: Factor in extra travel time and cost for the 30 km journey from Hirasar to Rajkot.
- Terminal confusion: Double-check your Delhi departure terminal if flying IndiGo.
Choosing Your Flight Based on Your Trip
Here is how to pick the right flight based on your travel needs.
Business Travellers
