I was lucky to review the airport too, just before it opened. In fact, i actually got to run my car on the runway at top speed. Which is an unreal experience as most Bangaloreans know. A stretch of 4km of tar, and zero speed bumps and potholes. :) Really good review. I was lucky to review the airport too, just before it opened.

Doesn't the new HAL airport accomodates both the Intl and domestic airport? I am travelling from London to Pune via Bangalore, and would like to know do I need to carry my luggage from International to domestic airport myself, or do the airport themselves handle or do it for us. Or is it like Mumbai, where you have to carry the luggage from Intl airport to domestic and thats real painful. Any information on this will be useful. Thank you in advance...

There is already a broadgage train link running from city to Chickaballapur via Devanahalli train parallel to NH7 why cannot SW RAILWAY can utilise this opportunity to run push pull diesel coaches upto the point where the road from main road deviate from highway to airport, create a station and link with bus services temporarily and make a permanent rail line upto the airport in the future traffic. This can be done only with public awareness and not with politics of karnataka. i was in indian airlines for 34 years now retired and i worked all southern airports and visited almost all the airports in India and some of the countries like UK/USA/CANADA/GERMANY/BANGKOK/SINGAPORE/MALAYSIA AND among all these i like the facilities available present Chennai(madras) airport which connects local suburban trains, express highway , and domestic and international building situated in the same building and the best maintenance of the terminal which they got isi2001 award also. like that Bangalore new intl,airport can be achieved if the authorities introduce mini luxury govt buses instead of big volvo buses which is sometimes running almost empty from city and vice versa.mini luxury can be introduce where the passenger traffic less from city to airport and vice versa .

The NH-7 leading to hyderabad is very well sign posted throughout especially after Hebbal. Language shouldn't be an issue at all. I haven't been inside the airport though, i have driven past it I would go with what Mr Raghu says. lot of factual errors in airport review. shamshabad airport opened in may 08 and devanahalli in Jun 08. not six months apart.the airport is in between bangalore and mysore city?

Bangalore airport(the new one) is probably far far more criticised than it actually deserves. I havent seen the hyderabad airport, so I wont comment on that., but in whatever I have seen in India(delhi, mumbai, chennai, kolkata, pune) this is by far the best one and the others dont even come close....(bear that I am not counting Hyderabad.) 2. The checkout was easy and there were not too many hassles . I came out to be greeted by an large louis vitton breif case giving me an indiaction, the kind of hotspot this airport is to become. 3. The one thing amazing is the bus service outside. There are buses to almost every aea in bangalore and that too frequently. But the down point is the price at Rs.150. (Read an news item that the state government is planning a hitech rail link to the airport which covers in 25 minutes from the city centre...That should solve this problem) 4.The downside was the airport building design. It surely is posche but they certainly could have come up with better designs.(I have been to airports in UK, geneva, zurich and the US to actually have an idea of what is posche and make an comment on this) 5. And finally the approach roads.. Well.. Havent seen better in India atleast and someone in the bus proclaimed that the approch roads were better than the ones in hyderabad. Some must be wondering of so many praises to the airport but these are only to let the people know that the criticism on this airport in various blogs I have seen had made me actually fear going there. But this came out as a pleasant surprise. In one of the blogs , some one had said that the arrival and departure were on the round floor and that was pathetic. Well that was a lie trying to mislead people. The departure on the first floor is state of the art and certainly I had no problems. There was an other critic who said that the first floor looked like a shopping mall. well have they been to any international airport before actually making a comment and is that really a pointto criticise.... It had some great international brands and was certainly of international standards.. To be very honest(I am) , I had a great experience with the BIAL .. Hi,

From Hebbal Flyover, though the distance is 23 kms. it takes only 45-45 minutes because of the very good roads. From my house in Hebbal the HAL airport was only 17 kms.away but it used to take 90 minutes to reach. The problem is not with the BIAL airport location but with Bangalore traffic and the uncultured drivers who lack traffic sense. Yes, I have been to the new international airport.
