How delays work at IND

A ground stop holds flights bound for IND at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • The terminal stays open 24 hours a day, but security checkpoints close overnight once the last departures leave. Overnight travelers must stay landside near baggage claim or Civic Plaza.
  • The Guest Services desk is located in Civic Plaza, just beyond the Ticketing Hall, according to the airport's transportation page.
  • Sit near baggage claim on overnight layovers for padded seating. Bring an extra layer and earplugs, since the terminal can get cold and announcements echo.
