Delhi Airport (DEL) Transit Experinces

[Steady]

Leave the airport and pick your favourite brand of hotel at Aerocity. That's my advice.

You can also ask your hotel to provide a car pickup service at the airport, which again will be expensive by Indian terms but not really in AUD (maybe $30-40). This is highly recommended especially since this is your first visit to India. You provide your flight details and they will wait in the reception area (after exiting customs) with your name on a sign - they will be there to meet you no matter how late your flight might be.

I was flying SQ R to DXB with a few days layover, then onto NLA on a Star alliance SQ redemption (ET metal)
With SQ not currently flying to DXB I had the tickets changed to DEL as they fly F/R there, and there were plenty of J reward seats available DELxADD-NLA.

So I now have a couple of nights in DEL on the way, and one on the way back, instead of DXB.
I have booked into the Pullman using an Accor stay plus, looks like there is the option of requesting a transfer from them - is there anything wrong with a taxi or uber or one of the transfer companies offering online? Any recommendations?

Is it cash, or will a card like Wise be ok?

I did an organised tour of the golden triangle back in '17 - flying in and out of Delhi - I loved the place
