Kerala: how to get there
|
GET to Trivandrum (Thiruvananthapuram) or Kochi (Cochin. Ernakulam)
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, with direct flights from the Middle East, Singapore, Maldives and Sri Lanka is the gateway to the tourism-paradise state of Kerala. Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Air Deccan, Air Sahara and Paramount Airways are the domestic airlines operating from here. Air India, Gulf Air, Oman Air, Kuwait Airways, Silk Air, Sri Lankan Airlines, Qatar Airways, Air Arabia and Emirates operate international flights.
Apart from regular scheduled flights, many chartered flights from Europe like
First Choice Airways from London Gatwick and Monarch, operating with big jets,
land here during the peak tourist season; with Kerala fast becoming a prime tourist destination in India. Thiruvanthapuram airport's importance is also due to the fact that it is the southernmost airport in India and also
the closest (and thus cheapest option) for neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Maldives.  
The Central railway station is located in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram city, 8 km from the airport. It is a very important terminus which handles over 50 trains daily to almost all major cities in India. Thiruvananthapuram is the first major city from south along the second longest train route in the world, Kanyakumari to Jammu. A second satellite station was opened in 2005 at Kochuveli, near the International Airport.
