Chennai International Airport (MAA) serves as Tamil Nadu’s primary international gateway and a significant domestic hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines. It’s typically perceived as mid-range in price compared with other Indian metros, with both long-haul and short-haul connectivity. The airport is about 13–18 km from the city center; taxis and app-based cabs usually take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and fares often fall within a modest local range, while prepaid airport taxis and sharing services can offer predictable rates. Bus services and suburban trains connect the airport more affordably but may be slower. Pros: good international links and multiple transport choices. Cons: traffic can extend transfer times and terminals may feel busy at peak periods.
Riyadh is primarily served by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s main international gateway and a major hub for Saudi flag carrier and several regional airlines; it typically handles most long-haul and business traffic. The airport sits about 35–45 km north of downtown Riyadh, with travel times ranging from roughly 30–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Options include taxis and app-based rideshares (fares usually moderate to high), airport shuttles, and private transfers; a future metro connection is planned but not yet operational. Pros: modern terminal facilities, extensive international connections and good lounges. Cons: distance from the city center can mean longer transfer times and higher taxi costs during peak hours.
