One
of
the
best
airports
in
India.
This
airport
definitely
deserves
the
title
for
โMost
Improved
Airportโ.
We
arrived
in
Kolkata
as
a
connection
flight
to
Dubai,
UAE,
and
the
arrival
experience
is
as
good
as
it
gets,
with
the
immigration
queues
almost
empty,
and
the
staff
go
through
our
immigration
very
quickly
(both
Indian
and
Foreigner
passport
holder
queues
were
empty).
I
also
saw
that
the
staff
make
it
a
priority
to
keep
queues
short
and
quick,
and
they
do
it
very
efficiently.
After
collecting
our
baggage
from
the
belt,
we
went
to
the
check
in,
to
drop
off
the
same
baggage
for
the
next
flight.
I
must
say
that
even
with
a
a
connection
flight,
and
with
tags
indicating
that
our
baggage
is
going
through
a
connecting
flight,
the
staff
made
us
collect
the
baggage,
making
the
tags
practically
useless,
as
we
needed
to
do
the
same
checkin
as
all
others.
Otherwise,
the
pathway
is
very
clear
and
short.
I
also
must
say
that
This
airport
is
one
of
the
most
advanced
airports
in
the
technology
sector.
The
security
checks
had
conveyer
belts
all
across,
wane
security
guards
did
not
cramp
the
areas
at
all,
as
the
conveyer
belts
could
instead
be
managed
by
the
click
of
the
button.
They
also
separate
hand
baggage
which
are
cleared,
and
hand
baggage
which
find
any
items
that
are
not
allowed,
which
makes
the
process
very
helpful
for
both
sides.
All
the
staff
speak
a
Hindi
and
Bengali,
and
most
speak
English,
and
they
are
very
kind
with
their
services
and
are
very
helpful.
An
issue
I
do
have
is
the
lounge
the
airport
offers.
There
are
two
lounges
in
the
airport
by
what
I
saw,
and
they
are
not
big,
and
with
lesser
seat
numbers,
the
queue
just
lines
up.
But
once
you
do
find
seats,
I
must
they
that
their
food
is
absolutely
fantastic
for
both
vegetarians
and
non
vegetarians,
and
they
also
state
what
allergens
are
used
into
making
the
dish.
There
is
also
a
bar,
and
different
seat
types,
which
overall
makes
the
lounge
more
accessible
than
most
other
lounges
you
can
find
across
India
and
in
other
countries.
Once
taking
my
second
flight
from
Kolkata
to
UAE,
I
noticed
that
the
queues
are
split
into
three
zones,
with
each
zone
having
people
with
specific
seat
number
ranges,
which
makes
the
boarding
process
easier
for
passengers
and
the
crew
members,
which
I
find
to
be
very
unique
and
creative.
Overall,
I
find
this
airport
to
be
fantastic,
and
with
the
exception
of
the
lounge
issue.
I
definitely
recommend
taking
this
airport
as
a
connection
flight
instead
of
Delhi
(a
very
crowded
airport
which
are
not
as
modern
and
accessible),
you
will
have
a
great
time.
