Bagdogra Airport

✅ Trip Verified | This is pretty much the worst airport you could travel from. It is downright pathetic in almost all categories. Poor road, poor drop off and parking area. Absolutely insufficient place in the departure area for the amount of people with archaic processes of manual baggage screening. Appalling and small area for security check. The security hold area is so small that it's always crowded, bursting at the seams with unhygienic and smelly surrounding. Won't even talk about the washrooms but you can guess. Sadly for almost everyone within a 100km radius it's the only airport for connectivity so no choice hence authorities can get away with it.

This is an old military airport which has only a few daily flights. It has a 'restaurant' and a souvenir shop (selling souvenirs you are unlikely to want). Security is tight and photographs are not allowed. My bag weighed more upon leaving than arriving and the only way to resolve this problem was to quietly pay a bribe less than the excess baggage cost. The toilets were smelly the seating areas both landside and airside were sufficient for the number of passengers using the two gates. The airport is totally disability unfriendly. There is parking nearby for more cars than the number of passengers likely to use the airport. It is close to the centre of town.
