Beware of falling glasses, airport built by govt so for the 63rd time glass has fallen at various locations, try the Krispy creme doughnut near exit to gate13/14 and also you can buy dhoti at ramraj
D new airport has definitely got lotta standards. Its hassle free and huge space makes commutation a lot more easier. D segregation of arrival and departure points is an added advantage.
The travel club lounge is good. Irish house is good. Copper chimney restaurant is good. No places to shop in this terminal. But a lot of eating joints.
One more instance of glass breakage, among Lcc indigo gets aero bridge facility apart from Air India, Air India boarding berth could be International Airport and you need to walk a bit while boarding
There is bar & restaurant at level 2 above the left wing departure. Passengers and Visitors are allowed, drinks and food are priced decent. This place is open 24x7!
Had Chennai Idli, Vada and Pongal in a south Indian restaurant after searching a lot inside the airport... Taste was yummy... It's near "Gate 7-10" Don't miss it if you are damn hungry...!
Visit marinabeach if u have spare time. Get local train to "Chennai Fort" from Trisulam rly station (25 mins). Auto/Bus to beach (15 mins). Cloak room is near domestic airport,nxt to police station.
Early morning flight at 4 means your aircraft is berthed at the St Thomas mount end cargo terminal of the airport for refuelling. Saw indigo and air Costa planes, long travel by bus.
Can't believe on has to come out of the arrivals at ground floor and then get back in for departures at the first floor .. Can't we just move from within ..
If the check-in lineon the ground floor is too long, just take the elevator upstairs where hardly anyone will be checking-in, and you can also find more seats to sit & relax before your flight. There
Nights, rainy days and election getting a cab here is difficult, hope the newly built metro will help, to be operational upto koyambedu bus terminus soon
The new airport is a relief from the old one (better loo's and infrastructure) but it qstill needs to gain that edge! Food options are really less & most talked about maggi stand sucks big time too..!
Domestic departure on second floor. Can be disorienting. Use the lift between domestic arrival gate 2 and 3. New airport is pretty slick. Hope they keep it clean
For Gods sake. How many paging announcements will you guys make! Annoying is given a new meaning here! Why can't this airport become a Silent Terminal like Mumbai!! Please!
There's a lounge on the second floor before security that is advertised to be free for Visa Signature cardholders, but they wouldn't accept my US-issued card. It's worth a try if you have a card.
Serious lack of food or shop options. If you plan to take food for your plane hope buy it before you get to the airport. The only lounge here is a Jet airways business classlounge that is very poor.
They are not joking when they ask you to come two hours early for morning flights. Significantly crowded during morning hours. Come around 2:30 hours early
