Timing your ride to Chennai International Airport (MAA)
Aim to be at the airport two to three hours before take-off. Share the flight time and we plan the pickup around it.
Chennai’s traffic has set windows; GST Road, OMR and the Bypass each clog at a different hour, so we advise the leave time per pickup area.
- The line is staffed through the night, so 3 AM pickups are routine.
- Give us the flight number and we confirm the driver the evening before.
- For arrivals, the driver waits outside and calls when you land.
- Heavy bags? An SUV or Innova takes more than a Sedan.
