Download the airport app. Seriously. It has a really good indoor map, shows your gate in real time, and even tells you how long the walk is. Plus, it'll show you shops and restaurants along the way, which is a lifesaver if your flight's delayed. The signs are… yeah, not great. The app is your friend.

Yeah, I figured the signs wouldn't be the best. Thanks for the app tip! I'll definitely download it before I head over. Delayed flights are the WORST, so knowing where to grab a bite is a bonus. Appreciate the help!

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.
