Tiruchirapalli International Airport, serving central Tamil Nadu and opened in the 1930s, is a mid-sized regional airport with a single passenger terminal handling domestic and limited international flights. Located roughly 5–7 km from Tiruchirappalli city centre, it offers easy access via taxis, state-run and private buses and sits close to Tiruchirappalli Junction railway station, making connections to Chennai, Madurai and other cities straightforward. Important for business, pilgrimage and education travel, the airport hosts regular services from carriers such as IndiGo and SpiceJet but is not a major national hub. On-the-ground prices and fares tend to be budget-friendly compared with larger metros.
Pick up rupees quickly at Tiruchirapalli Airport from two currency‑exchange counters and three handy ATMs spread across arrivals, departures, and the terminal forecourt. Airport rates are pricier than in town, so withdraw a small amount on arrival and do larger exchanges in the city to avoid high fees and queues.
Score easy last‑minute gifts at Tiruchirapalli International’s compact Flemingo Duty Free stores, where global spirits, perfumes, and chocolates often undercut city prices. Shops sit airside in the international departures concourse and in arrivals before customs, opening around each flight so both departing and incoming travelers can browse.
Hungry in Trichy? Expect about half a dozen spots—from quick coffee kiosks to a small sit‑down diner—spread across the single terminal, serving South Indian staples and grab‑and‑go bites, with coffee around ₹150–220, snacks ₹120–200, and meals ₹350–600 (a touch higher than in town).
Quick first aid is available around the clock, with a handy chemist near Arrivals for last‑minute meds and travel health basics—staff can also arrange wheelchairs or link you to nearby hospitals if needed.
Drop your bags at the staffed cloak room in Tiruchirapalli’s arrivals hall and explore the city hands‑free—rates are modest and even oversize items are usually accepted. No coin lockers here; expect ID check, quick X‑ray screening and near‑24‑hour coverage aligned with the flight schedule.
Choose between two small lounges—one each in Domestic and International Departures—or settle by the windows in the main halls. Wi‑Fi and charging are easy to find, food is simple but hot, and while showers are uncommon and hours aren’t strictly 24/7, access is flexible with passes or paid entry.
