Due to renovation in Delhi Conditions are very bad these days..and Mumbai and Delhi airport are relative to each other, problem in one leads to trouble at other...

I would say you should be there at 5 Am atleast..

That is really good advice from Shashank. The queues can be really endlessly long to get thru initial screening and then checking in, so you do need the three hours to feel on the safe side.

By the way is the Air India flight to Frankfurt not code shared with Lufthansa anymore? Do they have their own flight now?

Interesting The 3:25Am flight is on LH metal with AI codeshare; and the 8:05AM is on AI metal a LH codeshare. I think the 8:05 is not a daily flight, while the 3:25 is a daily. (or that's what my system shows )

My international flight arrives to Mumbai at 8.00 am. I will continue with internal flight to Goa at 16.30. I would like to spend the day at hotel's swimming pool somewhere close? Is this possible? Or should I stay somewhere close to the airport? Could I do the check in for the Spicejet flight to Goa already in the morning?
