My first week at Bangalore

First October, I woke up at four o’clock in the morning to catch the flight, Kingfisher Airline, to Bangalore. This flight not direct to mu destination, Bangalore; however, I have to transit to domestic airline at Mumbai International Airport that locate on the west of India. I arrived to Suwanabhum airport, Bangkok, on 5.30 after that I check in ticket and baggage which its weight must not exceed than 20kg and 7kg for carried baggage than I got two boarding passes that specify gate and seat number. After that I went to Passport control, X-ray carried baggage and body, and waiting at departure gate respectively. Mumbai is far from Bangkok approximately 3000km, so the flight takes time 4 hours. I arrived to Mumbai around 11.40 in the morning; India time is slower than Thailand about one and a half hour. When I arrived to Mumbai, I went to Passport control area, getting baggage, x-ray baggage, and immigration process respectively. The immigration process quite easy for tourist visa; however passengers might be asked some question such as where do you live? That mostly of question you must have already filled to arrived card. The transit passengers which will go to domestic area have to go to domestic terminal 1A for Kingfisher airline, 5km from International terminal. Before go to domestic terminal, the flight furnishes baggage check in at domestic transfer area in order to serve passengers than taking a coach to domestic terminal which it has schedule every 20 min. The flight to Bangalore boarding time at 16.10; therefore, I have much time to survey around the airport after I have taken x-ray carried baggage and investigate the ticket before go inside the terminal. The flight from Mumbai to Bangalore takes time 1 hour, so I arrived to Bangalore at 18.20. I think that this is a nice trip because it is my first time to catch flight by myself; moreover, I got many of experience about catch flight and airport communication.
