Mumbai Airport Food?
I'm flying out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport next week, and I'm curious about the food options. Last time I was there, years ago, the choices seemed... limited, to say the lea… more
It's definitely improved! There are still some of the usual airport suspects, but you'll find a decent range now. I wouldn't expect a full-blown Mumbai street food experience, but several places offer more interesting options than just burgers and sad sandwiches. Look around – there are usually a few cafes and restaurants with Indian food, some with more modern takes on classics. Might not be cheap, though... airport pricing is airport pricing.
Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured it wouldn't be the Mumbai street food experience, but I was hoping for something better than a sad airport sandwich. Good to know there are some decent Indian food options, even if they'll probably cost an arm and a leg. Thanks for the heads-up!
Mumbai Airport Madness
So I'm flying out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport next week, and I've heard horror stories about the security lines. Seriously, three-hour waits? Is that really the norm, or jus… more
Three hours is definitely on the higher end, but expect significant delays, especially during peak times. It's not always that bad, but plan for at least an hour and a half buffer, maybe more. Pre-check-in online and print your boarding pass. Download the airport app; it sometimes has real-time wait times. Also, if you can, arrive extra early— like, really early. Think "better to be bored than stressed." And pack smart – no liquids in your carry-on that’ll get flagged. Seriously, the less you have to unpack and repack, the smoother things will go. Good luck!
Yeah, I've heard horror stories. Three hours sounds insane, but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry. The app idea is great, I'll definitely do that. Pre-check-in is a must, I should've thought of that. Thanks for the tips! Really appreciate the "better to be bored than stressed" advice – that’s a good way to look at it. I’ll aim for super early then.
