This Airport is quite modern in India.
There are some cafes and restaurant inside the airport.
The airport is about 30km from Bangalore and it took me about 45 minutes to an hour during non peak hour.
Note:
Please note that the guard will not let you in to the airport more than 2 hours before your flight.
There are some restaurants outside the airport like subway though.

Kingfisher have new planes, happy staff, and porters who whisk you & your luggage to check in - even for economy class. All the staff I have met from Delhi> Mumbai and then later Mumbai> Bangalore have been great. And the food was good too. There were seatback TVs and comfortable seats. My only gripe is that if the guy in front settles back to sleep you can have a computer on the table. Highly recommeded. Try it and you'll fly Kingfisher again!

If you would like to take a tour in the northern part and in the southern part of India as well, it is a good idea to start and finish your tour of the northern part in Delhi and catch a plane from Delhi to Bangalore. Low-budget airlines have the cheapest fares to Bangalore among all the southern Indian cities.
I decided to take Spicejet and since I made my reservation early enough, I paid less than 12.000.- Rs for the Delhi-Bangalore return journey for 2 persons incl. taxes. That's a real bargain because it is a long distance.

Continental Airlines had arranged a Business Class Upgrade for me on a Miami to Paris and then on to Banglalore trip.
I have to say I want to revise my earlier opinion of Business Class on Air Frane. This is the second time to India that i have been upgraded in Air France
Champagne to begin with, excellent foie de gras with sultanas, a mellow white from buordeax, good coffee, spaciuos seats, no one sitting anywhere near you. smooth flight with not too much interruptions.
I am glad to see that my retun trip to Paris also has been upgraded. Merci beaucoup.

I was able to look thruogh the airfrance website and find a reasonable fare, on this non stop flight from CDG to BLR. Left on time, an hour at the lounge (Sky Team Elite Plus) and then a very smooth flight of just nine hours from CDG to BLR. Immigration and Customs took all of five minutes! I had arrived with just a shoulder bag with my computer and nothing else! Look forward to a busy itinerary: ayurveda, Yoga, Moksh restaurant, cotton shirts to be made, doctors to be consulted, teeth cleaned, gifts for friends..andback to Paris before Yom Kippur!

Capt Gopi Nath is the founder of Deccan Airlines, the South West or Easy Jet of India. He is already offering incredible fares to all parts of India and from now on, for foreigners it would become easier to book on line and have e tickets to major destinations within India.
New services to Delhi,Bombay, Calculta has begun
Air Asia of Malaysia, Easy Jet of England and many other airlines are modelled after the granddaddy of them all, South West Airlines of USA, which has successfully operated ever since coming on to the scene about 20 years ago.

In the last 1 1/2 years the local government has introduced a fleet of air-conditioned buses running through out the city to cater to a slightly different section of the public.
These are of international standard and very effecient, for most part stick to schedules (unless caught in a traffic jam) and very convenient.
The pricing is very attractive and it could be between .5 USD upwards to a max of 5 USD if you are taking the bus from the city to the airport.
They are all very easy to spot - all of them are Red in color and in the last two weeks an Orange version has been introduced.

On a recent trip to Bangalore, with my family, we worked with a Car rental company to travel to Puttaparthy to visit Shri Sathya Sai Baba´s ashram. We hired a very comfortable toyota Innova for 900 Rupees one full day for the vehicle with the driver included. If these details help, the name of the company is Shiva Car Rentals and their telephone numbers are 41262306 or 41150735. These numbers are of Bangalore hence you will have to dial the area codes. I have a person who was handling all my travel in this are, just in case you need some help, his name is Ashok and his cell phone number is 9886045236.

For some reason or other I have always had good luck with taxi drivers all around the world.. BA to Siem Reap.. I had to get to the New International airport to catch my flight to Paris. someone had suggested the new bus that plies the route, but with a heavy suitcase full of goodies for my cuban friends, i chose to go by taxi...and I met Prakash the owner driver of a Tata Indica taxi..
A canarese from shimoga, this young man was chattty and extremely friendly and we had fixed the one way fare at 600 inr. i thought of asking him various fares, and i was amazed how reasonable they were
8 hours /80 km around town of bangalore 950 inr
if you are going out of town 6 inr/km
he then suggested a karnataka itinerary, giving me the names of various towns and the distances between them.
also to ooty if you like or calicut...
add 250 inr per day for the driver. dont forget if you cross the border you have to pay the taxi permit of that state, 1000 inr for tamin nadou and andhra pradesh and 500 inr for kerala
I certainly plan to use him on my next visit to bangalore, as i always wanted to go to ooty.. so it would be a two day trip .. can seat up to four people, but three would be more comfortable.. the total taxi fare would be aroud 5000 inr.. not bad at all prakash may be contacted at 0961188498 if you are calling from outside the country please add the country code
