First visit to the BIA (Bangalore International Airport)

Last Friday, I had to catch a flight to Delhi and got the chance to see the new airport at Bangalore. I had heard a lot of good and not so good things about the Airport on various forums and was excited that I would be able to get a first hand experience of being there.
I started at 4:45 AM in the morning to take my 6:10 flight. I decided to take the BMTC shuttle to the Airport and checked the timings the previous evening. Having reached the bus stand at 4:55 am, I had to wait just seven minutes and there was the A/C Volvo bus Vayu Vajra coming my way. The journey to Airport was very comfortable and 100 rupees for the 20 odd kms did seem reasonable and it took around 20 minutes.
The airport looked nice and clean and the many check in counters made check in quite simple and hassle free. The waiting area was quite good as well with lot of options for a nice breakfast, not cheap though.
On my return journey I took the non A/C bus to come back home at just half the price of the A/C bus. Over all a good experience at the BIA.
