Connection time from Domestic to Interntional terminal in Mumbai?

cruisinred

I am looking at schedules for flights from Udaipur to Singapore, connecting in Mumbai. Jet Airways flys both legs, but the connection time between flights in 2hours 20 minutes. Does anyone know if this is enough to transfer from the domestic to the international terminal in Mumbai?

It is not sufficient even if the flight is on time as it takes at least two hours to check in for an international flight and IMHO you had better have about three hours to be on the safe side. It is not worth risking your onward flight connections especially if they are for an international flight. Since the flight on both the legs is by the same airline it is possible that they may arrange for you to be on the second leg without missing the flight or else put you on another flight with another airline if you miss it. There is a inter terminal free coach service from the Domestic to the International airport every half hour so it is the fastest way to get to the other terminal from the inside of the airport. And since you are travelling by the same airline you may not have to check in your baggage again but just go ahead with your hand baggage to Terminal 2A for the Singapore sector. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

aahdil-

I am also assuming that Jet would allow me to check in for both flights when I check in at Udaipur....

I have tried to contact the airline to confirm, but their are no email addresses on their website, their correpsondence form does not work...so I guess I will have to call them from the US...kind of a pain

I am not sure if they will let you check through to Singapore from Udaipur but atleast know that they have a separate counter where you can check in the baggage at the domestic terminal for the international flight and vice versa at the international terminal too. So you only need to carry your hand baggage with you on the coach to the international terminal. Surprising that the Jet website is not working properly. Must be a temporary glitch, I guess.
