Cheap flights to Chennai

India's fourth-largest city, Chennai (formerly Madras) is often over-looked by tourists. The city is a gateway to south India and many of those arriving from Chennai flights stay here only a night or two before moving on to more popular spots. Indisputably hot and congested, there is a charm to Chennai, however, which makes it less frantic than many other large Indian cities. Those landing from Chennai flights often feel that the city, big though it is, has something of a village mentality – which can be a relief for Westerners arriving from other parts in India. Chennai is a transport hub for the Tamil region and many budget Indian airlines fly here, which makes it easy to find cheap Chennai flights from other parts of the country.
