Map
The road
Leave the IIM gate at Kunnamangalam, come down to NH 766, and head toward Kozhikode. The city crossing is the slow part: Thondayad and the bypass side, then Ramanattukara, then the airport road to Karipur. CWRDM is on the same Kunnamangalam stretch. Name that gate if the pickup is the research centre, not IIM.
A dawn flight needs the airline’s reporting time plus this drive. Book the evening before. If the landing is late, send the new time. Waiting is part of the fare only when you ask for it.
What to send
Flight number, terminal time, and “IIM main gate” or the hostel gate your host named. The city-to-airport from-fare is on this page. A campus start can differ, so call for the final lowest fare for that flight. This page is only the IIM road.
