Tips for travelers at IXG
The airport sits about 10 km from the city center, and auto-rickshaws are your most practical option for getting in and out — just settle the fare before you get in. Prepaid taxis exist but aren't always available outside peak hours. Check-in early because IXG is small and staff move at their own pace, which is charming until you're in a hurry. Monsoon season (June through September) can affect flights into smaller Karnataka airports, so build in a buffer if you're connecting onward. Pack light if you can — regional carriers on these short routes sometimes get strict about baggage.
