Bangalore International Airport is still under construction and will be done within 2008 so prepare yourself for an awful arrival area.You have to fill the embarcation card and be on the line at the immigration section.Such a dirty stands to write on!!After that just follow the direction to collect your baggage.From there your baggage will be scanned by the customs officers.Watch out with them!!!It seems to me they are intimidating the women travellers and foreigners.They are really rude and can not speak English mostly.I dont know if it is really the way for them to speak in a loud voice and unsmiling face.I believe they could take some of your baggages if they want to.Be rude too and yell at them when they do that.It works.:-))I observed their attitude to other passengers, it is all the same.It is really crowded there.It will be small space around custom area, crowded with the seats and people so just be careful with your belongings.You can see money exchange service just beside the custom scanning area will be opened 24hours.For your own safety, riding with the prepaid taxi will be better though it is more expensive from the airport.It will be on your left side after the customs area.You can see the sign there.

Be careful when you have to stand on the line or passing by a crowded area.The lines on the airport and some public areas seem to be fine.You may fine people will be queueng with some lines on a section, avoid it, they tend to push each other back with the hands or elbows.Queue to a calm single line.:-)).
When you pass by or be in a crowded area, you will experience the same thing.People will push each other back and rushy.

The last time I visited Bangalore was June-July 2006 and the airport was under construction.I am not sure if the new airport has been opened yet or not and wonder how the things are working on there for the services.The thing I still remember for the Bangalore Airport is such an awful one.The boarding gate for the departure hall is only one and the prority will be British Airways only!!It was a disaster for us on that time whereas other 2flights actually scheduled 2-3hours ahead from British Airways and we have to wait for its boarding.The waiting room at the departure area is really dirty.I wonder why it was qualified for an international airport.While we were boarding in, an airport crew was running and screaming along the line to ask if there was a doctor among passengers because a crew was fainted.OH MY GOD!it means there is no medical service inside the airport!!!

 MG Road on a SUNDAY morning! by Tijavi
Those wonderful traits are still there when I returned to the city recently in July 2004. But what struck me most, this time, was the city's horrible traffic jams, which made it painfully impossible to transit quickly around the city. I wouldn't have minded if I were there for leisure, but if you're on a business trip with a tight schedule, every second counts (i.e., I love to spend more time exploring the city!).
I wish the government (or civil society) could do something about the traffic jams in Bangalore. I'm glad that they have started to get moving on the new airport project (but I wouldn't be surprised if the project gets stalled along the way). Now, it's time to focus on the traffic, please.
I still love Bangalore despite the traffic jams, but I could not say the same for other visitors. Leave a Comment

WARNING !!!
When I arrived in Bangalore last June, I had 5 huge white cross on my big suitcase...they scanned my suitcase 3 different times and marked on a paper the electronics (CD player, camera, computer) that was inside, I found this very suspicious.
Last time I was in India, I had a full suitcase stolen at customs, so this time I was watching them carefully.
After they took inventory of the electronics in my suitcase, they sent me to an office where a guy in uniform asked me how much money I would give him (to keep my stuff).
I told him, very angry, that I have been often (well...!) to Bangalore and that he would not get a single rupee...
He looked quite surprised but let me go !
Don't let them steal you !!!!

If you're allergic to mosquitoes, use anti-repellent or body cream.
I was overwhelmed by the number of mosquitoes when first I arrived at the airport. Just be prepared, but nothing to worry. Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, the water in kerala is not safe to drink. Stick to bottled water - even for cleaning your teeth! Some unscrupulous people will try to sell you bottled water which has been refilled. Check the seal carefully. Leave a Comment
