Reporting from Bombay Airport
Lesson 1 - If you’ve hired a full service travel agency, use it! We came to a consensus that sitting around in the airport for fourteen hours was not the best of plans, so we made arrangements to stay in a hotel until it was time to check-in. When we arrived, the SITA representative meeting us at the airport was mildly concerned that we’d set ourselves up for failure and, in fact, the hotel didn’t have the van space to take us all. Fortunately, SITA already had a bus for us! In the end, everything worked out, just something to remember for the future.
Lesson 2 – You can’t buy a plane ticket at the airport after 26/11 (Mumbai Terrorist attacks.) I made the mistake of showing up to the airport without a copy of my itinerary, which is even required to get through the front door. I made a lame plea to be allowed in and the guy refused, but it turns out that they had a copy of the passenger manifests anyway. They eventually let me in, but only after some grief.
Lesson 3 – Dominos delivers, even in Mumbai.
