Taking the lift to level 2. Reached the Domestic Departure area.

Entry to Domestic Departure



Went for security. Had my bag scanned by security. After the scan, the security person asked for the tag. I said the check-in person did not give me a baggage tag. Security gave stamped a Jet Airways tag and handed over it to me.

I was in a rush to reach my gate, don't remember what was there after security. Looked at the airport map on wall and headed for the gate.

When I arrived at the gate, boarding was displaying final call. Others had already boarded as the flight was not full. Had boarding card checked, just before boarding the security tag was checked and allowed to proceed.

On boarding, was welcomed and crew directed me to the seat. Was sweating after the run, I had made to be on this flight. Got myself organised, put my bags in overhead bins and settled in my seat.
