mumbai airport connection, domestic in, international out

hi all

i've got a flight from mumbai to helsinki on 14th feb at 0915.

i'm coming from goa and trying to work out the best flight.

ideally, i'd love to have wed 13th in goa and catch the deccon air flight which leaves at 0640 and gets in at 0740. question is though, is that enough time to get my bags when i land, get to the international terminal and checkin / board my finnair fligth which leaves at 0915?

is it better to play it safe and head from goa on the 13th and have the night in mumbai?

thanks tim

Not enough time, even if your domestic flight is on time.

time:

-half an hour max to get your bags at domestic
-45 mins to reach the international airport- including waiting for shuttle
- 2 hours or so required to check in for international flights- they sometimes say 3 hours, though 2 should be sufficient.

also goa's airport is a joke. at busy times ie in the mornings and evenings flights are routinely delayed by an hour or more because arriving flights are queueing to even get to the terminal.

If your flight out is at 0915, then I would seriously recommend arriving in mumbai the night before.
