Our stay in Mumbai is drawing to a close at the truly evil hour of 4:40am!
What’s really bad about that is that they want you at the airport 3 hours before and it’s potentially a 1 hour (or more) ride to the airport. So we left The Oberoi at 1:00a, meaning nothing more than a nap tonight.
Getting to the gate is a process here. First is the document check at the doors into the terminal. They want to make sure you’re supposed to be here right now, so you have to show them proof of travel.
