  • Are there any on-site airport hotels at Chennai Airport?

    If you are looking to stay close to the airport on arrival, there are four hotels located in the vicinity of the terminals, all within five to ten minutes and offering airport shuttle transfers. Alternatively, there are Retiring Rooms inside the terminal that offer a dormitory space for resting and sleeping, and showers are also available should you need to freshen up.

  • How do I travel on from Chennai Airport using public transport?

Another public transport option is the metro, which you can get from the metro station located across the airport car park. However, the airport line (the Blue Line) only goes halfway to the city centre, so if that’s where you’re heading you will need to transfer to the Green Line along the way.

    Taxis are readily available from the taxi ranks outside the terminal building, and you can choose between a metered taxi or a pre-paid one. If you prefer the latter option, head to the pre-paid taxi booth in Arrivals to pay the taxi fare and then simply give the ticket to the driver before your trip.

    Passengers wishing to stay connected upon arrival can use the airport’s free Wi-Fi service for up to 45 minutes. If you need to use the Internet for longer, you have the option of purchasing additional time. Please note that you must have a valid phone number in order to use the Wi-Fi connection as you will get sent a PIN number by SMS.
