This is a very good (International Terminal) Airport to go to. The staff is friendly, the officers and security guards and militants are doing their job. And you have to arrive at your flight 3 hours prior to departure. You can use a baggage cart at no cost or you can get a city porter for 500 rupees like my mom and I did. We gave our tickets and we got our seat numbers and we also got a business class lounge as well. In customs there is a separate line for men and women and they scan your carry-on baggage and all of your personal items like wallets, watches, handkerchiefs, etc., and you may or may not need to remove your shoes. In our case, we did not have to remove our shoes because we had sandles. And then you go through a walk through metal detector. And then you finally go through a body scanner using a metal wand. And after that we were done. After my mom and I had finished customs, we went to the Restaurant Lounge and Bar, because we were in business class. The food was pretty good, the juice, soda and coffee was very good, and it gave us enough time also to read and sleep and talk to others for a little while. And we looked around all of the places including a restaurant, an umbrella store, a cafe, and finally a bookstore in which I purchased a book with short stories inside worth 150 rupees. And even though we arrived at the gate on time, the airplane never showed up. And when your seat number is called you have to provide the boarding pass and your passport. And you are all set to go to your destination. So overall, this is by far the best airport in Kerala, India.
