Very good airport immigration took no more than 2 minutes to clear upon departure check-in great and security line very reasonable . Food options could be better.

Bangalore Airport customer review

(United States)

Having gone through the torture of Delhi airport several times the Bangalore airport is night and day. Breezed in breezed out. The waiting areas are a bit crowded for the several international flights [12-3am] but not oppressively so. As noted below I was in business and got there nearly three hours early but the business lounge did not have a single empty seat.

Bangalore Airport customer review

(United States)

The facility is nice and clean but seems to be rather small for a city that is the size of Bangalore. The flight to Frankfurt was full and the waiting area was crowded. The immigration were unimpressive as far as PR is concerned but fast processing the paperwork. However the police officers in and around the security check area could speak English fluently. Baggage claim took over 30 minutes. I will give the airport a "B" when compared to other International airports.

Bangalore Airport customer review

(Germany)

All very nice and modern. However the security guard at the outer entrance seemed unable to read (latin letters). Instead he stared at each document for at least one minute causing a heavy queue. He accepted my e-ticket without even turning it to the front side where the crucial information about name and flight was printed. Business lounge is before the inner security check. After the experience with the outer security checks I guess everybody skips the visit there.

Now that it's more than a year since the new airport opened the operations have been streamlined a bit. Luggage arrives in the belt almost by the time one reaches the baggage collection area. Check-in fast and efficient. For transport to and from the city the BMTC Vayu Vajra buses are the best bet. Meru Cabs offers a very decent taxi service. Now for the bad part - immigration lines can be really long between 1 and 3 am. The terminal though large seems quite empty. Those spaces have to be filled with chairs for people to sit. There are hardly enough places to sit. There aren't enough food counters. The current food counters are way too expensive. It can cost up to Rs.300 to 500 for a decent breakfast. I think that's atrocious.

On the face of it the airport terminal appears to be small but is adequate for the current traffic. There is a quiet small European airport like functional efficiency in the current airport that somehow masks the attendant Indian chaos. Road infrastructure to and from the city vastly improved. The airport will stand tested when traffic volumes rise.

Bangalore Airport customer review

(United States)

Used the BLR airport 4 times in the last 3 weeks - arriving on Lufthansa flying to Delhi and back on Indigo and flying to Mumbai on Kingfisher. Overall experience has been as good or better than when I last used the airport in mid 2009. The relatively compact size of the terminal sometimes makes it appear inadequate but didn't actually encounter a situation of overcrowding - either in the waiting area or elsewhere. Don't think the use of buses for embarking/disembarking is always directly related to any lack of availability of overbridges. Low cost airlines avoid airbridges to save on their usage charges. Airbridges were used on Lufthansa and Kingfisher but not Indigo. Immigration baggage and customs on arrival were very quick. Security lines were on the longer side but not a cause for concern if you arrive about 75 minutes prior to domestic departure. In general baggage handling appears to be pretty efficient. Porter service continues to be helpful and useful. There seem to be more food options within the terminal and outside in the waiting/parking area. Public transportation to the airport seems better and the time taken to city centre in peak traffic seems to average about 90 minutes.

While a big improvement over the old airport for a new 21st century airport it is quite bad. There should have 10 times as many gates - most domestic flights still require a bus to get to the aircraft. The business class lounge for international i always full between 1-3 AM when most international flights leave. Why did they build such a small lounge for a new airport? If you are flying business class check in an hour before your flight and board the flight - forget the awful lounges. Immigration lines in arrival can be very long - again pathetic for a new airport.

BLR is very modern clean and efficient - quite unusual for Indian Airports. Facilities are great and for the most part the staff are helpful and friendly. I'd definitely recommend it.
