| The check-in area |
Text by Cedric & Tami.
We have witnessed many positive changes to the transportation infrastructure in India during recent years, including improved roads, new highways, dedicated rapid transit bus lanes, and of course the Delhi metro that we blogged about earlier. On this trip we were also quite impressed with many of the airports, including Delhi, Goa, Aurangabad, and Ahmedabad. But to our eyes the crown jewel was the magnificent new international terminal at Chatrapati Shivaji airport in Mumbai. This elegant space was designed by Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill and is the most beautiful terminal I have ever visited (not that I've seen that many)!

The airport also has a museum along its corridors that contain works of art from all over India, which offers a fun way to pass the time when you tire of usual airport shops, eateries, and lounge areas.

Along the museum corridor, there are several kiosks that allow you to send personalized postcards with a selfie to any email address. Pretty cool, especially since paper postcards seemed to have been quite elusive on this trip. We decided to give it a try and came up with this one...
