Travel tips

  • Book UDAN scheme flights well in advance as subsidized seats are limited and fill up quickly on regional routes.
  • Carry sufficient cash as ATM availability and card acceptance may be limited at the airport and in surrounding areas.
  • Pre-book your taxi or cab to and from the airport, as app-based cab services can be scarce in Rewa city.
  • Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure as the terminal is small and security queues can build up around flight times.
  • The best time to visit Rewa and surrounding attractions is between October and March, when the weather is cool and pleasant.
  • Check your flight status in advance as regional UDAN flights occasionally experience schedule changes or cancellations.
