• Upon arrival at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (Guwahati), expect a relatively small airport; be prepared to follow the signs for baggage claim and head outside to the designated taxi stand, where pre-paid taxis are available for around ₹600-₹800 (approximately $7-$10) to reach the city center.

• To avoid delays, plan your arrival at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight, as security lines can be lengthy due to a mix of business and tourist travelers on this busy route.
