Bangalore Airport

Our first experience at Bangalore, of course, was the airport. To our surprise... the process if getting our baggage and getting out was rather smooth and took only about 40 min. I guess it was put in our minds that any Indian airport will be hell,... but it was no so in Bangalore. It was probably the odd time we landed (10:00 pm) on a Saturday. A week night could have been a nightmare.

The airport's location is quite far from the City. Especially, for us, we had to come all the way south of the city to road. It took us about 90 min to make it. The drive from the airport to our apartment was sort of exciting - almost Nintendo style. The driver was patient, but we were paranoid at every turn as we are used to driving on the other side of the road. Its always a bit of a scare when you change driving sides. The traffic was light late at night and we were of course busy catching up with the family and did not pay too much attention to the routes (pronounced as 'root' in India)

Tip to make life easy:
Do not try to drive to the airport at any time - unless you like to get frustrated or enjoy long drives with no views. Take the bus service to the airport. I have heard great reviews about these bus services from several spots around the city.
