a minor diversion: making your flight in india

Although the machinery of the aircraft is the same all over the world, the machinery of flight is not.
India has its own airport system, even an adjustment for a family that has been traveling around the world for months.
There may be no chickens and cattle on the plane, but there are nuances between Indian Airlines and knowing them in advance will help you fly.
Travel proof: Make sure you take part in the itinerary or e-commerce event
Print tickets to the airport
For the sake of security measures, only travellers are allowed to enter the airport, and the police stationed at the entrance will check the itinerary according to their identity.
There is not much consistency in recognition.
Sometimes our whole family has been checked. Mumbai)
Sometimes there is only one person (Cochin)
Once the guard has approved the wrong ticket (Chennai). X-
Ray your luggage: all checked baggage must be x-
Browse the airport entrance on an airline-specific machine.
The location of these machines is not at all relevant to the location of the check-in counter for each airline, so it will take some time to confuse.
Separated by gender: India is still a conservative country in which many women do not like to associate with strange men and are not willing to be searched by men.
Therefore, the safety line route is separated from the men, and each passenger is searched by the same sex.
When we first realized this, our family was in a state of chaos because we had a system through security that involved four of us living together.
Once we had separated ourselves from our boarding pass by gender, we entered a search booth that looked ominous.
Stamp on the carry-on items: Make sure you have a hand luggage label for each carry-on
After x-each bag will be stampedrayed.
We find that the gate agent will not let you in without this approval seal.
We tried to get to the end of our backpack and in order to stamp it, we rushed back to security and almost missed our flight.
Boarding passes must also be stamped at the search booth.
Take the right bus and get off on the right plane: with a few exceptions, bus passengers at most airports go from the terminal to the plane.
Confirm which bus you are taking at some of the larger airports, and multiple planes board at the same time from the same gate.
In order to add to the confusion, the same bus may dock on different planes, so confirm which aircraft you are going to board.
Prepare to stay along the way: when booking a flight, be prepared for the skip flight experience even if it looks like a direct route.
In addition to the hub and spoke system, Indian airlines operate flights originating in a city that stop and drop off or/pick up passengers along the way before reaching their final destination.
These \"jump\" flights are usually flying in one direction, but in our Kolkata-Lucknow -
We returned for an hour.
Don\'t let acrobatics scare you.
Even in two jumps, our plane is very efficient.
Within 20 minutes of landing, the passengers leaving the plane, the cabins around us were cleaned, someone was taken away, the boarding pass was checked, the remaining passengers claimed their hand luggage, the new passengers came, we sat down.
Claim the correct package: As with most trips, avoid consignment packages if you can.
Although most airports have several luggage belts, it seems that people prefer to unload several flights at one airport.
This creates the scene around the baggage belt and increases the chance to pick up the black bag that others are everywhere.
As a family-oriented welcome culture, Indians believe that the more people pick up passengers, the more warm the welcome will be.
Therefore, at the exit, we look forward to discovering a large number of welcoming staff waiting for their loved ones.
Also looking forward to the same number of taxi calls.
If you have already arranged the selection
Up, hold on to having this person hold a board with your name so they can easily be identified.
Otherwise, be sure to arrange a pre-
Take a paid taxi at the airport before departure.
Although logistics in India may seem odd, traveling in India is usually a pleasant experience.
The airline staff were very polite and it was a special question to ask our family if they needed anything.
We had nine flights in six weeks and only one of them was delayed.
The airline jetairway changed us during the inspection-
So that we can reach our destination at the same time.
Knowing these nuances in advance can help you avoid accidents and see flying in India as your own cultural experience.
