The main Singapore bank leaves Mumbai at 11 PM, so a mid-afternoon start from Pune covers it — daylight driving, evening check-in, no night on the road.
Doorstep pickup anywhere in Pune · pay after the ride
Quick answer
For a Singapore flight from Mumbai airport, leave Pune about 7 hours before departure — 3.5 hours driving, 3 hours for international check-in and 0.5 hours contingency. The busiest Singapore departure is 11:00 PM, so you would leave Pune by 4:00 PM. An Orbitmiles cab from Pune to CSMIA Terminal 2 is a fixed ₹2,700 for up to 150 km, including all Expressway and Atal Setu tolls, with doorstep pickup anywhere in Pune and no night surcharge. Payment is after the ride by UPI, card or cash. Book at orbitmiles.in/book or WhatsApp +91 84848 76369.
Singapore departs Mumbai at 11 at night, which from Pune is close to the ideal shape: you leave in the middle of the afternoon, drive down in daylight, and check in during a calm evening rather than a pre-dawn scramble. Only one in five Singapore departures goes before 6 AM.
Singapore departs late — 23:00 is the main bank — which suits a Pune passenger well. You leave Pune mid-afternoon, drive in daylight, and have a relaxed evening check-in rather than a night drive.
Departure times observed on the CSMIA board across 11-16 August 2026 (30 Singapore departures). Each row works back from the flight: 3 hours for international check-in, the drive, and 0.5 hours of contingency.
| Flight departs | Check in by | Leave Pune by | Drive |

| 1:00 AM | 10:00 PM | 6:00 PM day before | ~3.5 hrs (traffic) |
| 8:00 AM | 5:00 AM | 2:00 AM overnight start | ~2.5 hrs (clear roads) |
Note the day-before rows. This is the single most common way people miss an international flight from Pune — a 8:00 AM departure means being on the expressway the previous evening, not on the morning of your ticket date. We schedule the pickup from your flight time, so tell us the flight rather than a pickup time and we will work it back for you.
Give us the flight number, not a pickup time. For the 11:00 PM departure that means a 4:00 PM pickup — we apply the check-in window, the realistic drive time for that hour and a buffer, then confirm it back to you.
Hinjawadi, Kharadi, Baner, Koregaon Park, Magarpatta, Wakad or anywhere else — the driver comes to your address. On this route that matters: nobody should be hauling luggage to a pickup point in the middle of the night.
The awkward Singapore departure times cost exactly the same as the convenient ones. A 4:00 PM pickup is ₹2,700, the same as a midday one.
All Singapore Airlines and other international services leave from T2. The driver takes you to the correct departure level rather than the arrivals kerb, which on a busy CSMIA day saves a long walk with bags.
This is a heavily business-travelled route, and the 23:00 departure suits that pattern almost perfectly — you can work a full morning in Pune, leave after lunch, and still be at Terminal 2 with the whole check-in window intact. Two things are worth knowing if you fly it often. First, a 4 PM departure from Pune puts you on the expressway right as the afternoon builds, so we budget the full 3.5 hours rather than the optimistic figure; if you would rather leave earlier and wait airside, tell us and we will move the pickup. Second, if this is a regular trip, ask about a company account. We invoice monthly with GST, which is considerably less tedious than filing an expense claim for every airport run, and your usual pickup address and vehicle preference stay on file so booking takes one message.
Orbitmiles charges nothing when you book — no advance and no card held. You settle up once you have been dropped at the terminal, by whichever method suits.
Travelling for work? We invoice companies monthly with GST — ask us to set up an account and your airport runs can be billed rather than expensed.
Tell us your Singapore flight and we work the pickup time back from it. The car is confirmed in advance, and you pay nothing until the journey is done.
Around 4 PM. That allows 3.5 hours for the drive in afternoon traffic, 3 hours for international check-in, and a contingency buffer. It means a daylight drive and an unhurried evening check-in.
A full morning, yes. With a 4 PM pickup you can work until lunch, travel in the afternoon and check in during the evening. It is one of the easier international departures to fit around a working day.
Yes. We invoice companies monthly with GST rather than charging per trip, and we keep your usual pickup address and vehicle preference on file so booking takes a single WhatsApp message. Ask us to set it up.
