If you are flying to India, chances are you will be arriving in Delhi, and if you are flying a European or Middle Eastern Airline, that means arriving in the early hours of the morning.
Arriving in a strange country for the first time can be a daunting experience. Delhi's International Arrivals Terminal is relatively modern and efficient. Make sure you fill out the Immigration forms and choose the right que at the immigration counter. You'll find the staff relatively pleasant and helpful, though not very talkative. DO NOT, under any circumstance, be rude to an Immigration official, as this is a criminal offence under Indian law.
On picking up your baggage and exiting through customs, hand in your customs declaration form. Immediately on your right you'll find a State Bank of India which does a good rate for foreign currency and travellers cheques. On your left, you'll find the pre-paid taxi counter. Go the the Government of India Tourist Counter and they will get you a car into the centre of Delhi for 215Rs. (a little over £3) and is good value for money for the 40 minute journey
Once outside the terminal, NEVER loose sight of your bags.
