_Insider_: Enjoy the art gallery feel of Terminal 2 with 10–15 minutes of exploration in the check-in hall. It's a visual pleasure many miss. - _Time_: For departing on early morning or late evening flights, allocate at least 2.5–3.5 hours, as security lines extend due to peak volumes. - _Avoid_: Late-night food options are sparse; eat before security or plan for snacks airside to avoid hunger during red-eye flights. - _Local_: Grab local snacks at Haldiram’s in T2, where prices are reasonable, and the sweets are perfect for flight journeys. - _Quiet_: Seek out the quieter smoking room near the far gates, or a seating pocket to relax without the central hubbub. - _Money_: Consider AC buses or the metro into the city; they are dramatically cheaper than taxis, especially useful for solo travelers. - _Avoid_: Plan around the sparse power outlets; carry a charging accessory to avoid battery woes during long layovers. - _Time_: Beat prepaid taxi queues by booking an Uber/Ola while taxiing; it's a time saver amidst post-flight congestion. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
