Planespotting at the Domestic Terminal Observation Deck (Landside) To access to this observation deck, take the escalator or lift up to level 4.

Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and tarmac view in his room. With a light load, our aircraft lifted off quickly. On the day of departure My first stop of the day was to meet a good friend at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. This is the entrance leading to the hotel reception. It was not a bad day for flying.

To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building.

Therefore it is common for flight delays in departure and arrival especially if the weather is bad. Anyway, fortunately for us, the ride into Delhi was smooth, hardly any turbulence and furthermore the Captain told us the good news and that is the stormy weather forecasted earlier had cleared. The weather was much better at this point.
