Tips for travelers at JLG
The airport sits about 8 km from Jalgaon city center, so budget roughly 20-25 minutes by auto-rickshaw or taxi. Pre-book your ride — app-based cabs aren't always available outside the terminal immediately after smaller flights land. Winter months, October through February, give you the best weather for combining a flight with an Ajanta visit since summer heat in this region is brutal. Carry cash. Smaller airports like this one don't always have reliable ATMs or card readers at food stalls. Arrive 75 minutes before departure minimum — the airport is small but security queues can surprise you during peak travel days.
