Leaving from Perth Airport (PER)
Perth has two separate terminal precincts: most international airlines (Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Malaysia Airlines, Emirates, Qatar, Batik, AirAsia, Thai, Jetstar international) use T1, while Qantas runs its international and domestic flights from T3/T4. They are about 15 minutes apart by road with no airside link, so allow plenty of time if arriving on a Qantas domestic flight to connect to another airline. Perth is the closest Australian city to India — one-stop trips via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur are often 3–5 h shorter than from Adelaide or the east coast, and flying east to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop makes no sense.
Arriving at Cochin International Airport, Kochi (Nedumbassery) (COK)
- International flights use Terminal 3, domestic Terminal 1.
- The airport is ~30 km from Ernakulam/Kochi city; Thrissur is about 1–1.5 h and Kottayam/Alappuzha 2–2.5 h by road.
- Many Gulf and Asian arrivals land late evening or overnight — pre-book a car for elderly parents.
Handy for: Kochi/Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Idukki/Munnar, Aluva, Angamaly
