Gifts on the Baggage Belt: A Christmas Surprise at Bengaluru Airport
Passengers arriving at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru this Christmas were greeted with a moment of magic instead of the usual wait for luggage. As Air India travellers gathered around the baggage belt, gift boxes began rolling out on the conveyor instead of suitcases, sparking surprise, laughter, and instant festive joy across the terminal.
Adding to the cheer, Santa Claus himself walked through the airport, waving to passengers and spreading holiday spirit. The scene quickly turned into a celebration, with smiles all around as travellers tried to take in the unexpected gesture.
The heartwarming moment was captured and shared on Instagram by digital creator Sanjana Nair. Each gift box even carried a personalised note with the passenger’s name. Showing her own gift, the message read, “BLR airport wishes you a Merry Christmas, Sanjana Nair.”
In the background, an airport announcement wished everyone a Merry Christmas, drawing cheers from the crowd. Soon after, passengers were seen posing for photos with Santa, fully embracing the holiday mood.
The video quickly went viral, pulling in 2.8 million views within hours and sparking a flood of reactions online. Some viewers were delighted, while others responded with humour or skepticism. Among the comments were:
“Imagine the other airline passengers waiting to collect luggage from different belts. Sad,”
“Air India gives us surprises most of the days ( they announce – the flight has been cancelled)”
“They may delay it to our destinations, but definitely not the hearts,”
“This is nonsense…aisa kuch bhi nahi hai…just propaganda…I came in Air India, except for the luggage, there was nothing,”
“Ab samajh mein aa rhe humari salary se itna cost cutting ho kr akhir kaha jaa rha hain,”
“That’s why Air India increases the price of flights during Christmas,”
What began as an ordinary airport routine turned into a memorable Christmas surprise for many, reminding travellers that sometimes joy shows up when you least expect it.
Moments like these show how small, thoughtful gestures can cut through travel stress and bring people together. Even with mixed reactions online, creating a spark of joy in a busy airport proves that the spirit of Christmas still has the power to surprise and uplift hearts.
