Before I post more on a recent trip to Singapore, I backtrack a bit to the trip to Sri Lanka. Following is a much delayed second part to my feature on Bandaranaike International Airport.

Scale model of the airport development project with this angle showing the terminal and land transport interface

Terminal building with short pier for the gates

Closer and clearer look at the interfaces with rail and road transport

From the display we proceeded towards our gate.

More shops mostly selling gems, jewelry or tea

Looking out a window to see Sri Lankan Airlines planes lined up at the terminal

Other aircraft at the terminal are accessed via transporter(i.e., bus).

Long corridor to our gate

Passengers head to the gates via a moving walkway. Otherwise, it would be a long walk.

Pre-departure lounge

Behind these seats is the smoking room

Passengers enter the pre-departure lounge through one last security check and the boarding pass and passport check by Sri Lankan Airlines ground staff.
