The Terminal 1 located at Shangumughom near the beach, caters purely domestic traffic and the Terminal 2 at Chackai caters international flights and some of the domestic flights too.

Air India operates all flights to/from Chackai terminal, domestic and international. This one is known as Terminal 2 and the purely domestic terminal is Terminal 1.

Basically there is only 1 Airport, but it is operated by both side as Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

The distance between 2 would be approximately 4 kilo meters.

If you're from Thambanoor KSRTC bus stand, then there is a prepaid taxi center just at the entry. They will book an auto for you to any of these terminals and charges as of January 2020 for Terminal 1 and 2 is 120 rupees (Rs.) and 100 rupees (Rs.) respectively.

Dont hire taxi outside the bus stand as they would charge you 150 or more and that is a loot. Alternatively you can hire Uber or OLA, but the charges would be same.

I'm from Punalur, Kollam district. So i usually get down to Kottarakka KSRTC bus stand, and from there you get to Trivandrum bus, mostly all are to Thambanoor KSRTC bus stand. From there I prefer auto rather than bus, as it'd need bit walking; none of the public transports are through to any of the terminals
