Part of TripClub
Getting there, planned with the stay
Gateway airports, typical routes and transfer times for every destination — and the connections where a little extra planning protects the first and last day of your programme.
Part of the complete journey
How our flight team supports your plans
- Holds the fare with the programme.
Pricing the stay and flights at the same time gives you a clearer view of the whole journey. Where airline and property terms allow, we can align their booking deadlines.
- Balances the fare with the full journey.
The cheapest ticket into Kerala lands at 03:40 and costs you the first day's consultation. We will show you that fare and the one that lands in daylight, and tell you which one we would take.
- Builds in the spare night where the weather demands it.
Dehradun, the airport for Rishikesh, closes in the winter fog window. On those itineraries we add a Delhi night as standard rather than selling it to you as a fix afterwards.
- Books rail when rail is the right answer.
Delhi to Haridwar for Rishikesh is a morning on a fast train, and in the fog weeks it is more dependable than the flight. We will say when the train beats the plane rather than selling you the plane.
- Supports you when plans change.
When we arrange the flights, you have one travel team to contact for available rebooking options and coordination with the property.
Every destination
Gateways, routings and transfer times
The airport, how you get to it from the markets we sell to, how long the road is at the other end, plus the practical detail most useful when choosing your flights.
KeralaIndiaCOK
Cochin International COK
Kochi — with Trivandrum (TRV) the better gateway for the southern coast
- London & western Europe
One stop through a Gulf hub — Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi. There is no direct service from the UK.
13–15 hours door to door - The Gulf
Direct, and frequent. Kerala has the densest Gulf connection of any Indian state.
4 hours - Delhi & Mumbai
Direct, several daily.
3 hours 15 from Delhi - Singapore & Kuala Lumpur
Direct to Kochi.
4–5 hours
- Transfer
- Two to four hours by road depending on the house — Palakkad is inland, the Chowara and Kovalam properties are an hour from Trivandrum. Included in every programme, with a driver we use year-round rather than a hotel taxi.
- Worth knowing
- Fly into Kochi and out of Trivandrum, or the reverse, if the itinerary suits — it is the same fare on most carriers and saves a four-hour repositioning drive. Arrive in daylight if you can: the first evening includes a consultation, and a 3 a.m. landing costs you a day of it.
RishikeshIndiaDED
Dehradun (Jolly Grant) DED
Dehradun — 45 minutes from Rishikesh
- London & western Europe
One stop through Delhi or a Gulf hub, then the domestic hop to Dehradun.
14–16 hours door to door - Delhi
Fifteen flights a day, 55 minutes. The road is six hours and not worth it.
55 minutes - The Gulf
Through Delhi. There is no international service into Dehradun.
7–8 hours
- Transfer
- 45 minutes by road from Dehradun to Muni Ki Reti, or an hour to the houses up the valley. Included.
- Worth knowing
- Dehradun is a daylight-only airport in practice — hill weather closes it, and the winter fog window from late December through January cancels flights with little notice. Build a night in Delhi into any itinerary with a tight onward connection, and never plan to fly out on the morning of an international departure.
Connections worth planning carefully
Two gateways where timing matters
Much of the long-haul traffic into Kerala lands in the small hours, an accident of the Gulf connections. Hold the room from the previous night — it costs one night and saves hours in a lobby before a treatment fortnight.
Daylight-only in practice, and the winter fog window from late December cancels flights at short notice. Build a Delhi night into anything with a tight international connection at the far end.
