Delhi to Srinagar /Srinagar to New Delhi Flight Experience March 2014
Traveled with Family from Delhi to Srinagar by Air in last week of march 2014.Security at Delhi Airport is quite tight.Since we were traveling first time on this route.We reported 2 hours before departure. After checking waited for nearly one hour for the flight.
For economy class passengers, airline like indigo,Spicejet etc take passengers in a bus to the plane.
The buses have limited seating capacity and as the distance is not too much many pessanger prefer to travel standing in the crowded buses. The buses stop near airplanes after which passangers enter planes in queues.
The Flight was on schedule. After wait of 10 mins ,plane took off and soon reached height of 10 km.
The weather in Delhi was cloudy but at height the clouds were below us.After nearly 50 minutes flying time,we saw snow clad peaks of Kashmir which were looking very beautiful.After 65 minutes of flying, plane started to land on Srinagar Airport.
A perfect landing resulted in claps and cheers from passengers.
There are no buses in Srinagar Airport to carry passanger from plane to Airport building.instead the Airport uses airbridges which connect plane to the airport.
There was one person inside the airport offereing prepaid taxi.We commited the blunder to took Taxi from him.later we learnt that he overcharged us.To get prepaid Taxi ,visit prepaid taxi booth just outside the Airport.
Return journey
We started early from hotel.The luggage was scanned nearly 1.5 km outside Airport Building by security personnel.passengers have to disembark from taxi and put the luggage on belt attached to scanner.
There are additional security checks at Srinagar Airport and Cabin baggage is not allowed.
Before final security checkup,you have to identify your luggage deposited at time of obtaining Boarding passes,otherwise your luggage will not be sent inside the airplane.
Rest of the journey was same as incoming and we landed at new Delhi Airport in 75 minutes.
