Indiranagar-to-airport trip took 2 hours 15 minutes after rain, traveller says

Nitin Sharma said he spent 2 hours and 15 minutes travelling from Indiranagar to Bengaluru airport on Friday night after rain slowed the journey.

In a post on X, Sharma wrote that he had “given up on making it to the flight” during the drive. He said he reached the departure gate within nine minutes of entering the airport, using DigiYatra.

The contrast between the road trip and the terminal process drew responses from other travellers, several of whom described similar delays while heading to flights. Some pointed to the need for a Metro connection to the airport, while others said the airport’s check-in and security process had generally been smooth.

The account is based on Sharma’s social-media post and has not been independently verified. For airport-bound passengers travelling during rain, the experience points to the value of allowing extra time for the road journey, even when the terminal process is quick.
