Finding My Gate at Mumbai Airport

Seriously, the sheer scale of the place is overwhelming. I spent at least 20 minutes just trying to decipher the signage and figure out which way to go to get to my connecting flight to @Bangalore. The airport itself is modern enough, I guess, but the wayfinding is seriously lacking. I swear I walked past at least three identical looking signs before a helpful (and exhausted-looking) airport employee pointed me in the right direction. My question is: are there any hidden, less congested routes or tips for navigating this maze of a place? My connecting flight is super early tomorrow and I don't want to repeat the whole ordeal. I should of booked a flight out of @Delhi instead!

Yeah, Mumbai airport is a beast. Seriously, the signage is atrocious. My best advice? Download the airport app. It has a pretty decent flight tracker and an indoor map that actually helped me navigate once I figured out how to use it. Also, pay attention to the flight information screens, they often have gate numbers updated more frequently than the signage. And finally, don't be afraid to ask! Airport staff, even if they look frazzled, are usually pretty helpful. Good luck with your early flight!

Thanks! Yeah, I figured the app would be my best bet. I've seen so many horror stories about Mumbai airport, the sheer size is intimidating. I'll definitely keep an eye on those screens too, I usually just zone out on those things... Appreciate the heads-up about asking staff; sometimes I'm too shy to bother people but its worth a shot, I guess. Early flight nerves got me all worked up lol.

have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly

one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.

honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
