The experience at the airport was amazing It was huge and really well designed,equipped with all the modern facilities for domestic and international travellers. One must visit the Karachi store and the Bombay stores to buy the world famous osmania biscuits and beautiful gift articles respectively. It has 124 terminals to take on domestic and international flights you have to walk a lot 🫣

I saw some of the best airports in our country and it is one of them. The entrance make that aura,the feeling of something best is coming there and as it is the international one so it has some good arrangements there. I recommend for the best experience and besides it the thing I actually love is go karting. So kinda Mayo over burger 🍔 thing to me. The aero plaza is kinda expensive but it had also the best food on airport. Parking space also quite large and the management is good. All over that just I have one complaint about the stores . Other than that it's best experience for me

Security personnel are co-operate with passengers, who are ready to co-operate with them. It's a very clean & nice Airport. I was there in night time and found staff cleaning the area. Hyderabad & Secunderabad cities sleep for 2 hours or not I am not sure. But one can travel from cities to Airport whole night. It's almost paperless experience for me here, that too with luggage.

Multiple businesses are available here. Both domestic and international flights to different cities operate from the airport. Ground floor was crowded. Karachi bakery Shop has good collection of snacks. Several Vedilal vending Machines are available inside the airport. These machines offer water bottles and snacks at a reasonable rate (accepts 10, 20, 50 rupee notes only).

Now international & domestic departures is combined . Everyone can enter from same gate . After entering international passengers will have immigration additionally.
Clean airport with hi-tech stuff like kiosks for self check in, printing luggage tag and even for bag drop using machines. Friendly staff and quick security checks.
Overall, I highly recommend Hyderabad Airport for anyone traveling in and out of the city. It's a top-notch facility that offers everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.

Huge airport with lots of stores for shopping during long layovers. Also has multiple food stores in the airport as well as outside. They have bars and breweries in the arrival floor. You can even hang out here while waiting for your flight instead of going to the city. Clean airport with hi-tech stuff like kiosks for self check in, printing luggage tag and even for bag drop using machines. Friendly staff and quick security checks! The encalm lounge however, had a big queue, too crowded around there..May be they could have more lines instead of 1 big line.. the bathrooms werent as clean as the rest of the airport. Overall lovely place to be!

The expansion of airport is good & big . It is very much spacious compared to earlier one.

Now international & domestic departures is combined . Everyone can enter from same gate . After entering international passengers will have immigration additionally.

Multiple immigration checks stops are installed but only few staffs were operating that was dissatisfaction to me as I waited for more than 20 min. Team has to improve in this matter.

Well maintained. Was not too crowded, maybe due to the early morning time.

Ample food court options.

Wish there were better Airport bus connectivity with all the city locations.
