Other Activities & Unique Features

  • The glass panels within terminal 2 give amazing views of the runway and the aircraft, particularly during rainy evenings and sunset.
  • The interiors at Mumbai Airport are more of a luxury hotel/ modern shopping mall than a classic airport terminal.

Suggested Layover Itineraries

  • 3-Hour Layover (Keep in the Airport) Take a tour around the duty-free area, snack on Mumbai snacks or coffee, and have some time in one of the high-end lounges, provided one is eligible. Terminal 2 alone provides sufficient traffic to easily occupy the less than 4-hour layovers.
  • 56 Hour Layover (Short City Visit) Depending on the traffic a short ride will lead you to Bandra, Juhu Beach or local cafes. Mumbai traffic may change in a blink of a second, so maintain good buffer time when coming back.
  • 8+ Hour Layover (Half-Day Mumbai Experience) Those who have longer layovers can visit the Gateway of India, the marine drive, cafes in Bandra or shopping districts within the city and come back to get into the plane. App Taxi is the most convenient mode of transportation over short city tours.
