Major FAQ-India
Airport and Arrival Information
Who will meet me in the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?
In India , you will arrive in Delhi ( Indira Gandhi International Airport )
Definitely, one of our representatives will wait for you at the airport; granted we receive your flight information in advance. Please verify this by sending flight information to BOTH the USA and India office (it is HIGHLY suggested that volunteers call India and confirm receipt of flight information). IFRE wants to ensure the absolute smoothest running of EVERY volunteer's program - from beginning to end.
If you get delayed or miss your flight, please call our office or in-country coordinator (contact numbers are available in placement sheets and pre-departure booklets) and wait. If you do not make contact, please go to the contact hotel using pre-paid taxi services. There is an office offering pre-paid taxi services inside the airport. Please do not use outside taxies. Contacts' telephone numbers and addresses of our hostel and contact hotel are available in provided placement details and pre-departure booklets. Upon meeting the IFRE representative or in-country coordinator, volunteers will be transferred to IFRE's hostel in Guna Gao where fellow volunteers will have the opportunity to meet each other.
Volunteers coming to India are suggested to arrive one day before the start of program. The program fee will cover expenses beginning of the first day of the program (Usually first or third Monday) to the last day of the program. If you arrive before the first day of the program and/or stay beyond the last day of the program, expenses will be the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food in hostel).
