Mandalay International Airport (MDL) was interesting.
As I said in an earlier post, the airport was tiny. The check-in gates were located post-security; I had to pass the “passengers only” sign to have my luggage screened before I could check in. All very odd and confusing.
Once checked in, I went through immigration and into the departure terminal, which had a few shops and a couple of cafés.
I then had to go through more security to a holding area with chairs, a small stall selling drinks, and a smoking room to get to domestic departures. No toilets.
Again, there are no electronic status boards. The staff boarded the passengers by walking around, calling flight numbers and waving tickets.
