Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Kochi is served primarily by Cochin International Airport (COK), a modern international hub that handles most long‑haul and domestic flights, while a few smaller airfields can support charter or regional services. Major full‑service carriers and several low‑cost airlines typically operate here, so fares can range from budget‑friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport lies about 25–35 km northeast of Kochi’s central districts; road transfers usually take 40–60 minutes by taxi or app cab, with fare ranges that can vary widely but often sit in the mid‑range for Indian cities. There’s also an airport shuttle and limited public bus connections taking longer but costing less. Pros: contemporary facilities, good international connectivity and straightforward road access. Cons: distance from some central neighborhoods and variable traffic can add time and cost to transfers.
Chennai International Airport (MAA) serves as Tamil Nadu’s main international gateway and a major southern Indian hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines. It’s typically the most convenient option for long-haul and business travel, while smaller domestic flights may also use the same terminals. The airport lies about 15–20 km from Chennai city centre; road transfer times are commonly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with airport taxis, app-based rides and prepaid counters available (fares usually vary by operator and route). There’s also a suburban rail link and bus services that can be slower but more economical. Pros: comprehensive facilities and international connectivity; cons: peak-hour congestion and variable travel times to central areas.
