I agree with Syanjali.  I have travelled via Delhi twice and didn't have any issue.  One thing I hear most of the time about Delhi airport is that you have to check luggage at Delhi which is totally a myth.  You only need to check luggage @ Del if you decide to go outside the airport.  I had better experience at Delhi airport compared to Doha or Baharin.  Now I'm not sure where Rachetta got ticket for 1150-1300 on Cathy Pacific but if you can get that price that's a real good deal.
