Where to stay near Bhubaneswar Airport: a simple guide for late arrivals
Landing late or flying early? Here is how to choose a calm, convenient base without paying hotel prices.
Biju Patnaik International Airport is one of the most central airports in India. It is only a short drive from the main parts of the city, so you do not have to stay right next to it.
How far is the city from the airport?
Most of central Bhubaneswar, including Forest Park, the railway station and Old Town, is roughly 15 to 30 minutes from the airport by cab depending on traffic. Patia and Infocity are a little further, around 30 minutes.
Tips for late or early flights
A few small things make arrivals and departures easier:
- Pre-book a cab on arrival at the airport counter, or ask your host to arrange one.
- Tell your host your flight number and arrival time so check-in is ready.
- Pick a stay with parking or easy pick-up access if you are travelling with luggage.
- For an early flight, keep your bags packed the night before and ask for a cab at least 45 minutes ahead.
Why a homestay can work better than a hotel
With a full apartment you get a kitchen, a living room and two bedrooms for about the price of a room, which is handy for families and small groups.
