The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

Taxis and ride-share (Grab) offer door-to-door convenience, typically taking 45–60 minutes depending on traffic, while car rentals are available at the airport for onward travel.
