At Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi:
• We landed at 20:00 in New Delhi. First, all the passengers to Chennai were de-boarded.
Around 50% of the people were flying to Chennai.
• All others were de-planed & formed into groups of 30. A CRPF personnel was allotted to each group, who
instructed the procedure of clearances & was with us till the end.
• Brief procedure till airport exit:
Allocation into groups - Temperature check– Immigration clearance – Baggage collection – Long wait –
Respective state counters for Quarantine allocation.
• Waiting time to clear all the procedure was around 5.5 hours. Flights that landed at 17:00 were still not cleared,
hence there was a very long wait.
• The last step is at respective state counters. We were sent to Haryana counter.
A Quarantine form, with hotel details was filled & submitted. Local address proof of Gurgaon is required.
As our hotel was pre-booked, our process was quick.
• We finished all the procedure & exited airport at 01:30.

Suggestions:
1. Carry something to eat before going to Airport. It is going to be a long time even before boarding (~5hours)
2. If you are last in the queue, you will be mostly allotted middle seats in which you are required to wear PPE.
If you have luggage adjustment or require aisle seats, please go early than informed by Air India.
3. Social distancing depends upon you, avoid all crowded areas. Try to seat far away from people who are not in
your group. Sanitize & wash your hands regularly. Dispose the masks at frequent intervals.
4. After landing in India, your clearance process depends upon the day of your arrival. If there are other
international flights, then it is going to take a very long time. Get some food & wait it out.
5. Keep MSIL team & Deepak san updated of your status. In case of any issue, please do HORENSO.
6. It is most probably going to be a very hectic day with much of the time standing & waiting.
Ours total trip time was ~18hours for Narita hotel to Gurgaon hotel.
7. Have a good night sleep before the journey. Be safe & healthy.
