Indian airports (especially Delhi T3, Mumbai T2, and Bengaluru Kempegowda) see massive passenger footfall, resulting in long queues at entry gates and security screening lines. To improve your travel experience and avoid missing flights, you can use the Indian government’s facial recognition system, DigiYatra, and pack smart to speed through security. Here is your step-by-step airport navigation guide.

What is DigiYatra?
DigiYatra is a biometric boarding system based on Facial Recognition Technology (FRT). It allows passengers to walk through airport entry gates, security checks, and boarding gates paperlessly, reducing waiting times from 45 minutes to under 5 minutes.
Step-by-Step DigiYatra Setup Guide
Before heading to the airport:
1. Download the DigiYatra App on your phone (available for Android and iOS).
2. Register using your Aadhar-linked mobile number and enter the OTP.
3. Upload a clear selfie and link your Aadhar details (validated via DigiLocker).
4. Add your flight boarding pass PDF or scan the QR code on the app at least 2 hours before departure.

DigiYatra Navigation at the Airport Entry
- When you arrive at the airport, look for the dedicated “DigiYatra Gate”.
- Scan your in-app barcode at the gate scanner and look into the facial recognition camera.
- The e-gate will open automatically, allowing you to bypass the long manual ID-verification queues.
Smart Packing Hacks for Quick Security Scans
To avoid having your hand luggage flagged for manual inspection:
- The Liquids Rule: Keep all liquids (perfumes, sanitizers, lotions) in containers under 100ml, packed together in a single clear, resealable ziplock bag.
- Electronic Separation: Place laptops, tablets, chargers, and camera bodies in an easily accessible pocket so you can pull them out quickly.
The Power Bank and Battery Rule
- *Warning:* Power banks, loose lithium-ion batteries, and e-cigarettes are strictly prohibited in checked luggage. They will be removed and discarded by security staff.
- The Hack: Always pack your power banks in your carry-on cabin bag.
Airport Security Etiquette (Tray Separation)
When placing items in the security scanner trays:
- Tray 1: Laptop, tablet, and Kindle (removed from their cases).
- Tray 2: Clear liquid bag, power bank, keys, watch, belt, and jacket.
- Tray 3: Your main cabin suitcase/backpack.
