[oldpax]

Flying Bangkok to Kolkuta (?)next month and then an internal flight.Has anyone experience of passing through this airport?How far to domestic flights and how long does immigration take . I have one hour and forty minutes!

Last time i flew through Dum Dum no real problems but beware can take a long time to get through customs immigration took four hours to arrive at Bombay one morning. That was a few years ago.........

India incredible India. I flew for Air India on a 767 as ACMI you wait and see :\. It took ages for us to get to the aircraft and every single time the burocracy changed and i have been there for almost 3 months. But as a passenger never had the experience.
Apart from the red tape and the general poverty, people are very nice maybe in a few decades who knows?
