Introduction
This report is from a family visit in March 2014. I had booked the ticket from Air India website, There were many options - Chose this flight to fly on Boeing 747-400.

Check-in
I was flying domestic to Hyderabad. Initially went to the wrong counter as this being an international flight. There was separated check in for domestic and international passengers.
International counter was catering to the Haj and passengers to Jeddah. It was a full flight from the queue at the counters.
Took a while to get the boarding card and declaration form for the customs.
Security
Went straight to security. The security staff was courteous. Requested me to fill the feedback form, which I did. Was a positive feedback.
Next passed the immigration. Being domestic passenger showed the boarding pass and went straight to Custom to stamp the declaration form.
