6 am at Mumbai airport? Oof. Yeah, that's a whole other beast. Forget about leisurely strolling; it's a sprint. Pre-check-in online is your best friend. Do it the day before, ideally. Get there at least three hours early— even then, you might feel like you're in a Bollywood action scene. Grab a pre-booked cab or use a ride-hailing app to avoid the insane taxi lines outside. And for the love of all that is holy, have your boarding pass, ID, and any necessary documents readily accessible. Seriously, everything organized. Think military precision. That's your best chance of not losing your mind (or your flight).

Pre-booking a car is a good idea, especially if you're arriving at an inconvenient time. Traffic in Mumbai is... intense, to say the least. Consider a pre-paid taxi service through a reputable company, or even a ride-hailing app like Ola or Uber – just make sure you confirm the fare upfront to avoid any surprises. The app will also show you real-time traffic, so you can kinda plan better. Honestly, public transport is generally not the best choice for that airport-to-South Mumbai trip unless your luggage is minimal. You'll save yourself a whole lot of stress.
