Arrive at Toronto Pearson (Terminal 1) at least 2–2.5 hours before your domestic connection and international long-haul. Allows time for bag drop, security and any last-minute issues.
Short hop Toronto → Newark on Republic Airways (operated as United Express). Keep boarding pass and passport handy for your international connection at Newark.
Arrive Terminal C; you remain in Terminal C for the international United flight to Delhi but allow time for a quick transfer to the international check-in counters and security recheck for long-haul.
Use the United Club (if eligible) or pick a reliable terminal restaurant for an early dinner — airport eateries typically operate into the evening but hours vary; confirm the specific outlet's closing time.
Overnight transcontinental flight to New Delhi (Boeing 787-9). BusinessFirst/long-haul service includes dinner and inflight amenities; plan to sleep and hydrate en route.
Arrival at DEL Terminal 3 (follow signage). Proceed through immigration and baggage reclaim — allow 60–90 minutes at peak times. Have visa documents ready and follow immigration instructions.
Take a pre-booked hotel transfer or app taxi (recommended for late arrivals). Aerocity and central Delhi transfers typically take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and location.
Most stand-alone local restaurants close by 11pm; for late arrivals the safest choice is your hotel restaurant (many Aerocity and central hotels offer 24-hour or late‑night room service).
Have a hearty breakfast at your hotel or a nearby café (many cafés open 7:30–9:00). This is a good day to keep luggage light and finalise airport documents.
Visit one signature site: Humayun's Tomb (usually open 6:00–17:30) or Qutub Minar (generally sunrise to sunset). Both reward with great morning light and are less crowded early; check NT/ASIA opening times in advance.
Choose a reliable lunch spot in Khan Market or Connaught Place—many restaurants operate 11:30–22:30. Try a modern Indian bistro or a trusted café for comfortable last-meal options.
Return to hotel to finish packing, check out and prepare documents for departure; use hotel luggage hold if you plan more daytime activities. Leave important items and receipts in a single place.
Allow extra travel time due to construction and traffic; Indian authorities note extra time is advisable for international departures. Aim to arrive at the airport 4–5 hours before the 11:55pm long-haul departure.
Check-in, security and immigration for the long-haul flight. With construction/extra time recommendations, completing these steps early reduces stress before the overnight flight.
Arrive at EWR Terminal B and complete US entry immigration and customs. Allow 60–120 minutes depending on queues; follow signs for connecting flights and baggage re-check if required.
You must move from Terminal B to Terminal 3 for your onward UA8045 to YYZ — allow at least 60–90 minutes for terminal transfer, security and re-checks (the itinerary notes Terminal changes).
Eat at a terminal café or United Club (opening hours usually early morning) — choose a light, travel-friendly breakfast before the short hop to Toronto.
Short regional connection to Toronto on a CR9 (regional jet). Ensure you have all arrival documents for Canada and confirm baggage transfer if through-checked.
