International flights leave from T1; domestic T2/T3 are across the airfield (train or transfer bus), so allow 3 h+ when connecting from a domestic flight. Western Sydney International opens 25 Oct 2026 but its only Asia link at launch is Singapore Airlines (daily from 23 Nov 2026).
Arriving at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar (ATQ)
- Single compact terminal for domestic and international; about 11–13 km from the Golden Temple (allow 30–40 min by road).
- International arrivals from Doha land around 2 am — pre-arrange a pick-up or prepaid taxi rather than bargaining on arrival.
- Flying into Delhi instead adds a 1 h domestic flight, ~6 h by road, or a fast train to Amritsar — more dates but a longer day.
