I could sure use some advice. I'm in my later 50s and a few times each year I visit my company's Hyd office which is about 2 miles from the Manohar hotel at the old airport. I hear the new airport is about 20 miles outside of town. How much time should I plan in my schedule to travel from the new airport to the Manohar, (or to the old airport)? Thanks so much! :-) Datojow
Hello,
You would take anything between 45 minutes to 1 or 1 1/2 hours.It depends on the time and the traffic at that time.There are buses plying from the airport that have a flat rate of 95 Rs..These stop at specific places in the city.They are very convinient and are available every half an hour from 5.30 a.m. to 11 p.m.,after that they are available every hour.Just google search on New aiport at hyderabad.
Hope this helps,
Vpas
The Manohar, if I am not wrong, is in Begumpet and that was where the earlier Airport was. New Airport is in Shamshabad and is definately outside city to some extent.
If u want to reach your hotel it will take around 1hr to 1.5hr depending upon the traffic which substantially increases during peak hours (8:30 to 10:30AM & 6:00 to 8:00PM) and rest is luck.
Lot of Radio Cabs are available at Airport itself. If, I remember, they charge somewhere around INR15 per KM and will take u to your destination.
For complete location details, u may visit official site of Hyderabad Airport at
http://hyderabad.aero/index.html
and map may be visited at

This map also provides transportation facilities available from New Airport.
For further information, u are welcome.

Hi Vpas;
Thank you for the your help. I imagine there are plenty of people like me who are disappointed in the greater travel times associated with this new airport. But change usually comes with some temporary discomfort. I'm looking forward to seeing the airport on my next trip
Best wishes

The Taxi is painted in Yellow, the global colour representing taxi service, also easy to spot during the day or night.
Yellow Taxi India Pvt. Ltd. director N. K. Sultania says that travel by the Yellow Taxis would be a safe option as all vehicles were enabled with GPS systems for tracking effectively.
Digital meters are installed in the cabs.
The minimum fare for two kilometers is of Rs.30. Rs.12 is collected for every additional kilometer.
The Museum displays the gifts and mementoes presented to the last Nizam of Hyderabad - Mir Osman Ali Khan,on the occassion of the silver Jubilee celebration in the year 1936.The Museum offers a lot of notable items like gold burnished wooden throne used for silver jubilee celebrations,a gold model of the Jubilee Pavillion,a tiffin box made of gold and diamonds and the wardrobe of the VI Nizam of Hyderabad.
Timings: 9.30 a.m. -- 4.30 p.m.(closed on Fridays)

Besides attending the meeting, I spent a day before and a day after to visit the city.
Lasting impression: massive traffic congestion, potholes in the roads, and great nasi bryani.
The Charminar is the city's major landmark. It is surrounded by fruit and tinklet stalls, and is a stone throw from the Mecca Mosque. It is fascinating to watch the hustle and bustle as the cars and traffic go by.
Hyderabad is a Muslim city in an otherwise predominantly Hindu India.
