Returning to Bangkok, the flight is slightly shorter at 4 hours 25 minutes. Thai VietJet Air and Thai Airways operate this route, with departures in the evening.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

A dedicated bus rapid transit (BRT) stop is located near the airport, providing an affordable public transit option, though it may be less convenient with luggage. Auto-rickshaws are available but are generally slower and less comfortable for longer distances. There is no direct metro link yet, as the Ahmedabad Metro expansion to the airport is still under construction.
