AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Almost all flights here are domestic, so there is no dedicated international connection infrastructure to rely on.
Bags are often manually re-checked between flights since through-checking is inconsistent on smaller carriers.
Arrive early for security as the single screening line can back up during the morning departure rush.
Keep boarding passes and ID handy, as security checks at the terminal entrance are strict and require document verification.
If flying IndiGo, Air India, or SpiceJet on separate tickets, plan generous buffer time since baggage claim and re-check are entirely manual.

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one terminal building with domestic check-in, security, and gates all under one roof, so transit is simply a short walk across the terminal floor. There are no shuttles, trains, or inter-terminal buses since the airport's small footprint doesn't require them.
