Fly to Toothukudi from Bengaluru and Chennai
Toothukudi was in news recently for all the bad reasons- police firing killing protesters, Sterlite plant polluting the environment and so on.
At least some good news.
Indigo and Spicejeet now fly to Toothukudi (formerly known as Tuticorin). Spicejet flight begins from today (July) while Indigo flight is set to begin from 26th July. Airport code for Tuticorin is TCR
The flight option will reduce a 600 kms/9 hours bus journey between BLR/Chennai and Thoothukudi to some 3 hours (90 mins flight)+ airport time.
Spicejet has only 1 daily flight from Bengaluru to Toothukudi while Indigo has announced 3 daily flights from Chennai. Unfortunately ticket prices are not very cheap- costs INR 6000+ for a return ticket- same price as Chennai - Delhi
