DigiYatra ≠ immigration; tabletop weather still owns the clock.

IXE’s single primary 06/24 tabletop runway, monsoon / low-visibility footnotes, and Gulf-heavy international banks mean schedule slip is not rare. DigiYatra (live for domestic since the 2024–26 rollout) shortens CISF / boarding document friction when enrolled — it does not replace international immigration. Domestic ~2 hours early / international ~3–4 hours early remain the sane defaults on Adani passenger guidance.

Single integrated terminal; boarding-pass SHA beats blog maps.

Screenshot IXE ≠ BLR ≠ GOI ≠ GOX ≠ CCJ ≠ CNN before the car leaves Mangaluru / Udupi / Kasargod. All scheduled passengers use the New Integrated Terminal Building. Domestic and international streams share the hall but split for security / CIQ. Old terminal / Coast Guard apron photos and Adani One FAQ text inventing a separate 2015 “Terminal 2 domestic” campus are not today’s boarding map.

Landside bottles beat airside markup; no PP soft-lounge drinks.

Buy sealed water and snacks landside before CISF. Live Priority Pass soft rooms = none. Adani Departure / Arrival CIP rooms serve food and hot / cold beverages only with CIP / Pranaam / paid walk-up entitlement (confirm Adani One / desk). Udan Yatri Café (pre-check-in departures; snacks from ₹10 on Feb 2026 launch coverage) is a landside cheap-bite footnote, not a lounge.

Hilltop road hop into Mangaluru; metro is not at the kerb.

Use official prepaid taxi counters in arrivals or signed Ola / Uber pickup for Hampankatta, hotels, Surathkal, and Udupi / Manipal day trips. Operator “local trains / buses” language does not put a rail head inside the NITB — Jokatte / Central / Junction remain road transfers. Late nights and oversized luggage default to prepaid / app cabs.
