Hi Everybody,
It is a common problem for the new travellers, who are booking low-cost airlines to reach the Airport. I had same, and so I had found out the cheapest and the better way of reaching the airport of Delhi (Palam Airport) and of Mumbai (Domestic).
Delhi Airport -> With lots of maps available for Delhi Airport, I am hereby listing good options.
1. Catch an Auto from ISBT to Delhi Domestic Airport - It costs around 120/- and takes around 45 minutes.
2. Catch a Airport Bus from ISBT - The bus (http://delhigovt.nic.in/dtcbusroute/dtc/Find_Route/getroute.asp) starts from Platform No. 6 of the intra-city, behind ISBT. The bus has a frequency of every 30 minutes (charges Rs. 50). but beware it goes to International Airport. So in case, you want to go domestic, catch this bus and drop - down at Palam Chowk. The Palam chowk is very near to domestic airport and you can get a local bus (after crossing the chowk) at Rs. 3/-. The same bus also goes to New Delhi Railway Station. The route of the bus is ISBT --> Red Fort -->New Delhi Railway Station--> International Airport. The time taken from ISBT back side to Airport is around 1 hour.
3. Catch a Metro (DMRC) . As of now the Metro facility is not available directly to airport, but still there is a near point to get to Metro.
a) Catch a metro to go Uttam Nagar - Fare from ISBT is Rs. 16/-
b) Drop at Uttam Nagar and catch a taxi to go airport. Fare Around Rs. 35/- (The driver might charge you Rs. 50/- too).
Reaching Domestic Airport - Mumbai From Pune OR vice-versa
1. Catch any bus service (Tours and Travels). They might charge around 500 -700 INR. and the time taken is around 4-5 hours. I found the following on internet
2. If you are coming to Pune from Mumbai Airport (that too in the night), there is one good option available. Outside the Mumbai Domestic Airport, come to Western ExpressWay (Auto takes around Rs. 10/-), get down near to Tours and Travels. There are lot of taxis which ply from Pune to Mumbai. They drop the passengers at the Mumbai Airport but are empty while going back. They charge Rs. 800/- (inclusive of toll on expressway) for the entire trip to Pune and drop you in the Pune city at your home :) But beware there are touts available which do charge some money. So normally, you can book the cab/vehicle paying Rs. 1000-1400 depends on your bargaining power. You can get good variety of options like Tavera, Indica, Innova to travel. They are very fast and can drop you within 3 hours (in night time). So if you are a group of 2-3, this option is really a good one.
3. If you want the cheapest option from Pune to Mumbai (avoiding late nights).
- Catch a bus/train to Dadar from Pune. Train fare less than 100 INR MSRTC, (charges Rs. 200) is a good one as it is government backed and does not stop elsewhere.
- From Dadar-East Railway Station - go to Dadar-West Railway Station. Get a ticket to Vile Parle. (I think it would be <>
i) Borivali - Fast train --- Does not stops at Vile Parle
ii) Borivali - Slow train -- Does stops at Vile Parle but the rush is huge.
iii) Andheri -- Best train because Vile Parle lies between Dadar and Andheri.
Travel by train takes around 20-30 minutes.
3. Get down at Vile Parle, Airport is very near. If you catch an auto it would charge you around 10/- INR. Time taken around 5-10 minutes.
So this mode requires around 5-6 hours but becomes very cheap mode of travel to Mumbai Airport.
I hope this would be useful to you.
Happy Journey
