  • At Kolkata Airport

    Things Kolkata Airport has:

    • Chaos
    • Decent eating options
    • A loo that smells as much as loos at local stations in Mumbai
    • A public address system – which sounds like one at a railway station and is so loud that you can barely make out what they are trying to say

    Things Kolkata Airport doesn’t have:

    • Cleanliness – the pillars have posters stuck to them
    • Effective air conditioning
    • Free Wi-fi – seriously!!
    • Online baggage scanning

    I was recently at the Chennai Airport and cribbed a lot about how it was light years behind the other airports in India (Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Bangalore – in that order). However, now that I have to spend a couple of hours at this one, I can safely say that this the worst of them all!!
