the International one, formerly known as Sahar Airport, at about 30 km (20 miles) north of the town and
the Domestic terminal, formerly known as Santa Cruz Airport, at about 26 km (17 miles) from the heart of the city.
When you get out of the International terminal building, look at your right for the prepaid taxi counter, they offer the fairest prices to reach the centre.
While when you take a flight, don't forget to fill in the tag which must be fasten to your hand luggage: a stamp is put on this tag when your luggage get checked and it's absolutely necessary for passing the custom. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Before landing in Mumbai you will be given an immigration form . The form consists of 3 parts, Immigration, Departure and customs.
Fill in the immigration form and hand it in to passport control. The customs part of the form needs to be completed and given in just after you have gone through customs. Ensure the departure part is filled in before you reach the airport to leave to save time. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

For travelling from the Train Stations in Mumbai to the Airport could be any of the five main line stations, so it all depends on which train you are arriving into Mumbai!!! They are Mumbai (Bombay) Central and Bandra Terminus for the Western Railway and Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and Kurla Terminus for the Central Railway and Dadar for both the railways!!! If you are travelling with luggage then you will definitely be better off using a taxi from the city and it should cost you something in the range of about Rs.300 from CST or Bombay Central station and about Rs.150 from Dadar but if you are in the suburbs of Bandra or Kurla then you can take a autorickshaw which is a three wheeler semi open cab and cheaper than the taxi and it will cost you about Rs.55 from Bandra or Kurla Terminii. Anyway before travelling just flag down the meter in front of you and pay only according to the tariff card. There are different fares for the air conditioned cabs and they are about 25% more than the normal fares. Also the fares at night are 25% more from midnight to 0530 am. for both the cabs!!! The International Airport is different from the Domestic Airport but both are called by the same name!!! And some flights which are domestic also leave from the International terminal so check in advance where your flight is departing from!!!
If you are arriving into the Airport and leaving for another destination in India by train then the best way is to take a prepaid taxi from the airport where it is slightly more expensive but without any hassles of finding one or being cheated by the driver taking a longer route to fool you!!!

 Black & Yellow Taxis in Mumbai by PierreZA
Leaving was a major problem! I previously visited Mumbai during March, and it was not as chaotic as it was now when I left early January.
They are busy renovating the airport, which complicates things even more.
I do think you need to be at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight leaves. I'm sure if renovations are completed, things will be much easier. Theme: Airplane

 at Mumbai airport on a
Kingfisher flight by uglyscot, 1 more photos
The tickets cost us around 13,000 rupees.
Our flight left in the early morning, and the return flight in the afternoon.
As well as juice and water, we were served lunch of black chickpeas, Chicken biryani [rather hot], mixed pickles ; chocolate mousse. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Taxis & Local buses. Check the tariff card before you pay for the cab, they might just cheat you. Advisable to travel on taxi rather than bus or train. If you visit bombay, you have to travel by the local trains. Everyday thousands of people come downtown to work and use the trains. You will be lucky if some1 does not stand on ur feet or push you. Its a different experience all together. Be careful of your belongings, wallets, passports on trains & buses.
If you click on the picture, you can see my location. I live between Marine Lines & Sandhurst Road :) Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The Domestic Terminals in Mumbai are a much more pleasant experience compared to International. Things run very smooth. I have used both Kingfisher and Jet, and had no problems.
Remember that you need to have your luggage security checked before going to the counters. Hand luggage should also be tagged and stamped. Theme: Airplane

 Always listen to the custom's
agent! by jessicadf
Well, as it turns out, Udaipur gets a bit foggy some mornings, and there is not an instrument approach. So the morning flight from Jaipur to Udaipur sat on the ground for a few extra hours before finally allowing the passengers to board. Then, after waiting for another hour, the crew had all those bound for Udaipur deplane, and the flight took off for Bombay, skipping the morning Udaipur landing.
Once back inside the terminal, we were told that we could be on the waiting list for the afternoon flight. Well... we knew that, since it would be the same plane in the morning, that it was already several hours behind schedule. Who knew what would happen throughout the course of the day??
Instead, we worked out a deal with the counterperson... we got a car (an Ambassador) and driver. The car would take my boyfriend and I, along with a British couple, to Udaipur. An Ambassador is really not made for 5 people... Plus, the other couple were traveling around before settling down in India, so they had an enormous amount of luggage.
The trip took us over 8 hours... and our bums were numb by the time we got to Udaipur. To top it off, when we arrived at the other couple's hotel, the cab in front of us was unloading people that had stayed behind and taken the afternoon flight! The joke was on us!
I'm glad, numb bum and all, that we drove. Through empty countryside that was beautiful and rural... sights that we wouldn't have seen any other way.
The only stop we made between Jaipur and Udaipur was at a tea stop. Glasses were dipped in dirty water and filled with steaming tea. I looked at the tea suspiciously, but, 'What the heck' and drank it down. I didn't get sick! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

There are excellent train & Bus services that run throughout Bombay, the only problem being that it is too crowded. I would suggest if travelling by train, do so during the off-peak hours and use travel first class toavoid any crowd. Taxis and available almost everywhere and is a convenient way of travelling, although make sure the taxi driver doesn't take you for a ride.
