Hyderabad Layover Tips
Choose HITEC City for Tech Meetings
If your meetings are in the tech corridor, stay near HITEC City or Gachibowli rather than the airport. Commute time is 45-60 minutes but you will be closer to business hubs.
Use Airport Lounges for Long Layovers
Rajiv Gandhi Airport has excellent Plaza Premium Lounges. For layovers over 4 hours, book a day room at the airport hotel for rest and a shower.
Book Airport Hotels for Early Flights
For departures before 7 AM, stay at an airport hotel the night before. Traffic from the city can be unpredictable.
Try the Local Cuisine
Hyderabad is famous for biryani. Paradise and Bawarchi are legendary. Most business hotels also serve excellent South Indian breakfast buffets.
Carry Cash for Small Purchases
While cards are accepted at hotels, keep cash for auto-rickshaws, street food, and small shops. ATMs are available at the airport.
