Airport transfer
Railway Station to Bangalore Airport Taxi
Arriving in Bengaluru by train and flying out the same day, or landing at the airport to catch a train onward? A pre-booked cab links the city’s main railway stations with Kempegowda International Airport in both directions, so you are not hunting for a ride with heavy bags.
The stations
Which Bengaluru station are you travelling from?
Bengaluru has several major railway stations, and long-distance trains do not all use the same one. Check your ticket for the exact station before booking, because the drive to the airport is quite different from each:
- KSR Bengaluru City (Majestic) – the main central terminus, next to the Kempegowda bus station. See our Majestic to airport page.
- Yesvantpur Junction – in the north-west of the city, used by many long-distance trains. See Yeshwanthpur to airport.
- SMVT Baiyappanahalli – the newer terminal in the east of the city, named after Sir M. Visvesvaraya.
- Bangalore Cantonment – a central station close to the Frazer Town and Vasanth Nagar areas, where many trains stop before or after Majestic.
- KR Puram – in the east, a common stop for trains on the Chennai line. See KR Puram to airport.
Distance and time
Bangalore airport to Bangalore railway station distance
There is no single answer to the Bangalore airport to Bangalore railway station distance, because it depends on which station you mean. The airport is in the far north of the city near Devanahalli, so every station involves a cross-city drive, and traffic often matters more than kilometres. The station area pages linked above give route-planner figures for those localities.
Whichever station you use, plan generously. Trains can run late, the roads around central stations are busy for much of the day, and you still need to clear check-in and security at the airport. Check your airline’s check-in cut-off and work backwards with a comfortable buffer.
Both directions
Station to airport, and airport to station
Station to airport. Share your train number and expected arrival time with the booking. If the train is running late, call the driver so the pickup can be adjusted. Tell us which exit you will use, as the larger stations have entrances on more than one side.
Airport to station. Send your flight number, the terminal (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2) and your landing time, along with the station and your train’s departure time. Once you have your bags, call the driver for the pickup point. If the gap between landing and your train is tight, tell us when you book so we can be realistic about timing.
Fares are confirmed when you book. Station and airport parking, where it applies, is charged as per actuals.
Vehicle choice
Picking a car for train luggage
Rail travellers often carry more than flyers: large suitcases, bags of gifts or a family’s luggage for a long trip. A sedan such as the Dzire, Etios or Ciaz suits one or two people with a suitcase each. For families or heavier luggage, the Innova airport taxi options give more boot space and seating. Groups arriving together by train can book a Tempo Traveller.
