Omg! Thank you so very much! This is my 1st time travelling alone...never been to chennai as well! Knowing that there's a metro connected to the airport and getting the directions through your video is such a relief! Keep the video's coming💖
Hi. Thank you for watching this video. I'm glad you found this useful. For some reason, your comment didn't show up on my notifications. If you need any suggestions regarding transportation, food, or entertainment in the city, feel free to reach out through email or Instagram. I'll be happy to help you out. 🙂
Hello. Thank you for watching this video. Are you looking to go to Apollo on Greams Road? If so, take the blue line metro from the Airport Station to Thousand Lights station. Apollo is 1.5 Km from Thousand Lights station. That's the closest a metro could take you. You could then take an auto rickshaw to the hospital, which should cost under ₹100, or you could book one through UBER or OLA for a lower price.
Hi. There are trains from Egmore Railway Station. So, you can get down at Egmore Metro Station, which is close. If you are traveling from the Airport, you will need to switch trains at Alandur Metro Station to go to Egmore.
Hallo ..thanku fo the video..i have to go to uiic nalanda corporate learning centre office ,nungambakkam ,( opposite to mop vaishnav college) from chennai airport .. so i have to take agdms metro and then take a cab/ auto?? Or is there any other nearby metro station?
Hi. The closest metro station near Nalanda Centre is AG-DMS Metro. As you said, taking an auto or cab to the centre from the metro station will be the best mode of transportation.
Hi thanks for the very useful video. Can you please check and confirm any hotel/retiring rooms in Chennai airport metro station. Need for overnight stay between flights to catch international flight early morning
Hello. I'm glad you found this video useful. The Airport Metro Station does not have any retiring rooms. The nearest hotel with good rooms and service is Hotel Southern Comfort. It's less than 2 km from the airport. If you need a more luxurious option, you could try Raddison or Trident. Both hotels are less than 5 km from the international airport.
I don't think that happened. But last year, they installed sleeping pods in the domestic arrival terminal near baggage belt number 1. I believe you won't be able to access that unless you arrive at the airport on a flight.

Hi. You need to take the suburban trains to Mahindra World City and not the Metro trains. Tirusulam is the nearest suburban train station close to the airport. From there, you can take the train to Chengalpattu and get down at Paranur station. From there, you can take an autorickshaw and reach Mahindra World City.
Hi, can u pls let me know if I can go to Mgr Chennai Ctl through this metro directly or I need to change any trains in between as I need to travel to tirupati station?
I have a train from MGR railway station at 11:15PM. I reach the airport via a domestic flight from jharkand at 9:15PM. Will i be able to make it in time to the railway station via metro after baggage claim at the airport ? also you started from the domestic arrivals baggage claim section right?
Hi i have doubt about this way after landing in chennai international flight after collecting luggage can out side people who are waiting for us can join in this route or we only have access to it
Hello. Once you exit the terminal, the route to the Airport Metro Station is public space. Your friends, family, or anyone you know can join you on this route. But it's a long walk!
Hello. If you want to go to Apollo Hospital on Greams Road, take the Blue Line metro from the Airport Station to Thousand Lights station. Apollo is 1.5 Km from Thousand Lights station. That's the closest a metro could take you. You could then take an auto rickshaw to the hospital, which should cost ₹100-₹150, or you could book one through UBER or OLA for a lower price.
Yes, it's the same from the International Arrival. You'll see signs for the Airport Metro at the baggage collection. Follow the signs, and you'll reach the station.
Hi. The first train departs at 4:51Hrs on the Blue Line from the Airport. There's another one at 5:02Hrs from Airport on the Inter-Corridor path. There are slight variations between Monday-Saturday and Sundays. You can check the schedule from the official Chennai Metro website here: chennaimetrorail.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/first-and-last-train-timings_terminal_NP07_P06_23_SL06-NP10P6_SUN.pdf.
Hi. You can't directly reach the Egmore Railway Station using Airport Metro. From Airport Metro, you need to switch trains at Alandaur Metro Station, and once you reach Egmore Metro Station, you will need to exit the station. From there, you need to walk for 8-10 minutes to be at the Egmore Railway Station platforms. Fare - ₹60. Duration: 50-60 minutes. Frequency: every 5-10 minutes.
Hi. There are no direct stops near the stadium unless you are on the MRTS route. If you are traveling from the Airport Metro Station, you can stop at Government Estate Metro Station. It is the closest to Chepauk Stadium. From there, you can book an OLA or UBER or walk for 15 minutes to the stadium. You can refer to the official map to know the routes: wcag.chennaimetrorail.org/line-map/
Hi. Metro doesn't connect Terminals 1 & 2. You can use the airport shuttle to go from Domestic to International Terminal. Otherwise, you can use the travelator within the airport area.
@@mohamedharis2934 It will easily take 10-15 minutes if you decide to walk. In the airport shuttle, it should take only a few minutes. Taxi might be difficult to find for such short distance rides.
Hello. As mentioned in the description, this is from the Chennai Domestic Terminal. The process is the same when you arrive at the International Terminal. Follow the signs, and you'll be in the right direction. You'll be coming from the other end to reach the Airport Metro Station, as seen at 1:57.
There is no direct stop for the Airport Metro Trains(both Blue and Green Line) at Perambur Station. But you can take the Blue Line from the Airport Station to Chennai Central Metro Station and then head to the Central Suburban Railway Station. From there, you can take a local train that will stop at Perambur Railway Station.

@@vakratundproductions5597 Taking UBER or OLA from the airport could be convenient, but it'll be expensive. The cost will be around ₹300-500 or higher during peak hours.
Yes, you can reach CMBT bus stand through Metro. If you travel from the Airport Metro Station, you need to switch trains at Alandur Metro Station to reach CMBT.
@@EudaimonicTraveler am from srilanka and i wish to travel chennai on coming 20th with tourist Evisa. So i still not clear with arrival procedure of evisa . Can u clear me what is the procedure after landing with ETA
@@BTubeS143 Alright. The procedure will be the same as any immigration check. You will need to show your passport to the immigration officer. Your Tourist EVisa is electronically linked to your passport. Upon verification, the officer might ask you a few questions, like what's your purpose, how long are you in India, etc. Once you answer them, your passport gets stamped, and you can leave the airport. The estimated time for the whole process depends on the number of travelers and the number of immigration counters open. It approximately takes 15-30 minutes to clear immigration. There's no need to worry. It's a simple process.
Oh thank you so much..🤝🏻 and last one thing, is there any separate counters for evisa or what ?? And can i online check in indigo, befr 2 hours to my departure
@@BTubeS143 I believe they do have separate counters for EVisa holders. Yes, you can web check-in 2 hrs before departure. Web check-in is available 24 hrs to 75 mins before international flight departure on Indigo.
Hi. You can take the trolley if you exit the arrival terminal and head to the Metro Station instead of taking the route shown in this video. But trolleys aren't allowed inside the Metro Station. You'll have to leave them behind at some point.
Omg!

The distance is very long..they should have arranged some battery operated vehicle..or mini vehicle between two terminals and metro.
