Chennai International Airport (MAA) is the city's main international gateway and a significant South Indian hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers, regional Indian airlines and some low-cost operators. Located about 7–20 km from central Chennai depending on whether you arrive at the domestic or international terminals, journey times to the city centre typically range from 20 to 60 minutes by taxi or app cab; airport shuttles and prepaid counters are common and fares can usually be found in the modest-to-moderate range. Public buses and suburban trains serve nearby stations for cheaper transfers, though they may be slower and less comfortable with luggage. Pros include good connectivity and frequent flights; cons can be terminal distance differences and peak-hour congestion.
London is served by several distinct airports, each playing a different role. Heathrow is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers and often perceived as mid-to-high range on fares; it sits about 15–20 miles west of central London and is commonly reached by the Heathrow Express (15–20 minutes to Paddington), the Elizabeth Line (30–40 minutes), or the Piccadilly Line tube (50–60 minutes), with fares varying by service and time of day. Gatwick, about 25–30 miles south, is a large international/low-cost hybrid favored by both leisure and some long-haul operators; transfers by Gatwick Express or Thameslink take roughly 30–40 minutes to central London. Stansted and Luton are typically budget-focused, serving many low-cost carriers and charter flights; expect coach transfers of 45–90 minutes or shuttle trains plus buses, often at lower fares but with longer journeys. London City Airport is a convenient, business-oriented gateway in the Docklands, usually close to Canary Wharf and the financial district and reachable by DLR in about 20–30 minutes. Pros: wide choice of airlines and schedules; strong rail connections. Cons: variable transfer times, occasional congestion, and differing price perceptions depending on airport and carrier.
