The long overdue modernization (several years ago, may I add) makes for a less stressful transit at CCU/VECC. The international arrivals area is staffed adequately but the carts are stationed at distances away from the conveyor designated for one's flight (Murphys law?) so be careful of the typical behavior when your unattended cart is "hijacked." The domestic arrivals (and departures) areas are already exceeding capacity and the restrooms are a constant reminder that despite availability of labor, providing gainful employment is a budgetary option of the local authorities.

I have done planespotting here before the second runway was built and the perimeter road blocked. I traveled in DC-3 aircraft here from the now demolished terminal building as well as the freight hangers (vintage design) when the first Comet landed. Know a little bit of history about the place!
