There are plenty of instances where folks have missed the flight due to blocks at Hebbal/ORR/Manyata stretch. If you leave by 4, you will reach airport by 6 or so, which gives you peace of mind. If you leave by 5, you may reach by 8. If you leave by 6, well, good luck in setting some new records ! Shyam | |

Alternatively, couple of other options if there is no social compulsion that you have to personally drop. ![]() If you are dropping one person or a couple of folks with not much luggage, you can look at using the airport bus service. The route is KIAL 6 starting from kadogodi and you can board at one of the stops on varthur road- siddhapura or kundanahalli gate. There is a bus every hour and you can target the 5pm one ( probably around 5.30 at kundanahalli gate). Comfortable and fast. Or book a meru/ ola cab. You can personally also go and return in an airport bus. Since they do these routes regularly, better chance of getting there on time even if you encounter unexpected jam I personally would make use of one of these options rather than drive to airport at 5-6pm on a Monday evening.

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Nowadays for relatives I just book an Uber for them and tell them I have arranged for a car to pick and drop you. They don't pay and just get down like a travels taxi or a driver dropping them. For a 9:30PM you need to reach airport by 8PM. Which means you need to leave before 6PM. After 6PM you are cutting it close. 5:30 is safer side but if you don't get heavy traffic you might land up at airport 3 hours before departure. You will get the max traffic at KR puram followed by Manyata tech park and then Hebbal. These 3 can add an hour to the trip if jammed badly. |

Some tricks to get through ORR faster: 1) Till just before Tin factory stay as much left as possible. Start moving to the right when you approach the petrol pump at Tin factory. 2) Once on the ORR keep as much right as possible since several vehicles would be exiting the ORR. 3) There is a flyover at Nagwara. Here move to the leftmost lane on the flyover till the bus stop post the flyover. Staying on the right will increase your travel time as the lane below the flyover has quite a bit of traffic. 4) Hebbal signal traffic has reduced now after the traffic police rearranged traffic. | |

At Tin factory, go towards Byappanhalli, take a U under the flyover, cross the hanging bridge, cross KR Puram market and take the Avalahalli, Budigere, Devanahalli route. Guaranteed to be in the airport in 40 minutes flat from where to turn off OMR. Expect some traffic in KR Puram market. |

But I don't recommend that route at all especially at night for someone who is not familiar. Just adds tension. It's better to go little early spend time in traffic on a known route than to experiment with a new route. I know that route well and last time I suggested that route, I got a a lot of brick bats as it was very long and it can end up taking the same amount of time. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Whatta day to begin with. As expected traffic was unusually high this morning on one side, and unusually low on another. BTM to ITPL took me 50 mins, at 6:30 am. There was slow moving traffic due to many number of vehicles all through ORR. BTM to Shantinagar TTMC (via the dreaded Bannerghatta road) too just 15 mins at 7:30 am. I expected this to take atleast 45 mins to reach due to sometime to clear Sagar Apollo Hospital and then some more time to clear NIMHANS - Wilson Garden stretch. But my brother's OLA Auto just zoomed through since traffic was sparse even at 7:30 am. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just came to know that there is / was a tree fall somewhere near HAL Police Station on Old Airport road. My friend took 2 hours from Vignan Nagar to ITPL, on a bike. |
