When Should I Fly To Vadodara?

Flights to Vadodara are inexpensive, except during the seasons of festivals, which tend to coincide with the hottest months of the year. This means that from March to June, tickets to Vadodara will be quite a bit more expensive—and you’ll be as hot as 100 degrees upon your arrival.

If you’d rather visit Vadodara cheaply, August through February are the cooler months when there aren’t any major festivals. These months tend to be extremely rainy, so pack accordingly.

What Should I Expect From Vadodara Airport?

Vadodara’s airport has one domestic terminal and lacks many accommodations that you may be used to like free Wi Fi, baggage handling, and potable water. Be sure to purchase bottled water from one of the vendors, and check to ensure that the bottle hasn’t been opened.

To get to Vadodara itself, you’ll need to hire a taxi. Agree on the fare beforehand, and don’t be alarmed if several others hop into your car with you—they’re likely going to similar areas, and they may be dropped off before you.
