CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Airport and passenger services

Since 2014, Mumbai has had a world-class airport. 26 km north of the city, it takes an hour to an hour and a half to get there by taxi. Terminal 1 is dedicated to domestic flights. On site, exchange offices, ATM distributors, prepaid taxis. There is also a train booking desk at the airport, which can save you time if you plan to travel by rail. Try to book accommodation for your arrival, as most flights land late at night and hotels are usually full.

To leave the airport, several prepaid taxi stands are located in the corridor just before the exit, the most economical being the least attractive, the last on the right of the exit. The former domestic airport is in Santacruz, 26 km north of the city centre: it is now part of the international airport, it corresponds to Terminal 1. To leave, prefer Meru or Easycab taxis with a line 100 metres to the left of the exit. The wait is a little longer, but the service and cost are not commensurate with what is practiced by the cool blue cabs that grab travellers as they leave (count about 800 Rs to reach Colaba). If you are a low-budget traveller with little luggage, one of the alternative solutions is to take a pre-paid taxi to Vile Parle station, then take a local train to C.S.T. Station or Churchgate.

Remember to reconfirm your flight at least 72 hours before departure and arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure time for domestic flights, 3 hours before for international flights. Be aware that Mumbai traffic is very dense in the evening (when international flights depart), so leave early to arrive on time.
