Is Chennai Int'l Airport 24 hours?

Question

I have a 13 hour layover at Chennai Airport soon and am not planning on making overnight accommodations. Is the airport open 24 hours so that it will not be a problem to sleep in a corner there?

Answer 1

yes it is open for hours.

Answer 2

Chennai is indeed a 24 hour airport.  It has both dormitory and retiring rooms facility for transiting passengers within the terminal.  The international airport has 2 good restaurants, one of which is for 24 hours and the domestic airport has the Taj restaurant.

although would recommend a retiring room/domitory for your 13 hours, it is not impossible to get a quiet corner to rest and spend your time.

Answer 3

Yes, it is open for 24 hours. But for 13 hours, man, it really would be worth your while to go to a cheap, decent hotel rather than sleep there! A prepaid taxi to the city is around $6.25 US (Rs. 250.) Hotels can be anywhere from $7.50 to $50 US (Rs. 300 - Rs. 2000) and up. But no need to stay at a really expensive place. There are *plenty* of decent places for $10/15/20 bucks US. I would spring Rs. 500 for taxis out and back - and a Rs. 500 room and get some decent rest without a sore neck and dirty looks from security or other staff members for more than half of the day. There are some instances when time is simply too short. And there are some parts of the world where costs are simply prohibitive. But if you have the money to afford the flights for a 13 hour layover in Chennai, you have $25 bucks US (Rs. 1000) to not look and act like an indigent hippie.
