T2’s BIAL Souvenir Shop sits landside near departures check-in.
You’ll find BIAL Souvenir Shop in Terminal T2, in the public departures area before security, so friends and family can pick up gifts even if they’re not flying. Stock leans heavily on Bengaluru- and Karnataka-themed items: think airport-branded mugs around ₹350–₹500, magnets under ₹250, and basic keychains in the ₹150 range. It’s small, so you can scan everything in under 10 minutes if you’re rushing to check-in counters.
The focus here is on logo merch and generic gifts rather than high-end handicrafts. Expect BIAL-branded t‑shirts around ₹800–₹1,000, caps near ₹500, and a few travel accessories like neck pillows and luggage tags. It’s open through the main T2 operating window, roughly matching the first and last flights of the day, so early-morning departures can still grab a quick token. Payment works fine with UPI, cards, and cash, which helps if you’re burning through leftover rupees.
You won’t see much in the way of premium silk, sandalwood, or single-origin coffee; those are better hunted down at other T2 retail spots past security. Treat this as the airport’s “logo shop” rather than a deep dive into local crafts. Prices are tourist-level but not outrageous for an international terminal. If you care about size or color options for t‑shirts, check the racks quickly; stock can be patchy by late evening waves. Tip: stop here before you clear security, then head airside for snacks instead of more souvenirs.
