BHO Airport Check-in and Security
Bhopal (BHO) capital of the central province (Madhya Pradesh state) of India has this small airport having only two security check-lines.
I do not had any check in luggage so I directly went up to the security, which was crowded early in the morning at 7:15 AM. There were some 5-6 flights in the morning and which is why it was really busy time.
Premium longue at Bhopal airport
As I said, this is tier-3 city airport in India. Good that a premium small longue is available at this place, as well as a spa, and a smoking room post the security check. It was early morning time so only breakfast was available.
Also, the washrooms/toilets are the same one in the gate area, there's no separate washrooms inside the lounge.
Boarding in the plane
A smooth boarding on time. Actually the same aircraft completes the sector BLR-BHO and then return to BLR.
Zone wise everyone board the aircraft. I liked that inside the Indigo staff was helping people to keep their luggage in the overhead bins.
Bangalore arrival and city transport
BLR as always gives the best weather welcome with 22 degree Celsius. However this time the arrival gate was from the very corner one and which is why passengers has to walk a lot to come to exit gate. There is no arrival longue in T1. Only T2 provides the arrival longue in BLR airport.
Outside one can take the KIA buses which are public transport well connected to the city all the time at reasonable prices. Otherwise, Uber is always there if you want personal vehicle and faster way.
Following is the track log of the 6E-393 flight on the day. Captured from flightaware.
