🧳 Travel Tips for a Smooth Airport ExperienceHere are some of my personal tips if you're using Trichy International:
✅ 1. Arrive Early for International DeparturesThough it’s not a massive airport, the security and immigration lines can be slow during peak hours. Arrive at least 3 hours early for international flights.
✅ 2. Pre-Book Your Taxi or AutoAuto-rickshaws and taxis are available, but I suggest booking through local taxi services like Uniway Taxi (especially if you're traveling early morning or late night).
✅ 3. Eat Before You Go (or Pack a Snack)The food options inside the terminal are limited. There are a few small vendors nearby, but if you want proper meals, eat before arriving.
✅ 4. Free Wi-Fi is LimitedDon’t expect full-speed internet. Download anything you need before heading to the airport.
