Bengaluru airport's remote location, far outside the city, is infamous for causing significant traffic delays. This often results in travellers spending more time in their airport transfers than on their actual flights. Recently, an American tech entrepreneur experienced this reality firsthand when social media reminded him that he was still hours away from his city destination after landing at Kempegowda International Airport.

"Arrived Bangalore and very excited," Mike Horton, the Texas-based co-founder of Crossbow Technology and Geodnet, captioned the image showing him standing with his luggage inside the airport.

Almost immediately, his comment section was flooded with users poking fun at how he still had to endure another 2.5 hours of commute after his 23-hour flight.
