The airport is very big.There is vast Flight connectivity.It has flights to most of the airports to India.But the transfer from the International Terminal to the Domestic Terminal 1B takes a long time.

What a change from the old BOM! Ebola screening was quick and efficient. Immigration was still in the old BOM - slow and painful! Baggage collection reminded of the chaos that exist on the streets of the great city. Great duty free options though did not use. Departure was a lot more smooth than arrival.

This is for the T2 in Bombay.
So far just experienced the arrival into T2 from Delhi.
So we got the last aerobridge, and I expected to walk the 100 miles to the baggage claim, but was pleasantly surprised that it was right OPPOSITE the gate and we were in baggage claim in 5 seconds!.
The bags also came out right away, so we were in the car in less than 10 minutes.
Amazing.
I may travel to Delhi this week and If I use Vistara will use T2 Departure, so will experience that.
But T2 is A SUPERB AIRPORT.

The new Mumbai Terminal is awesome. I love it.
Only smoking room needs to be bigger. its just small room for hundreds of people...
I hope they will open more shops.
Also clipper lounge should have smoking room as well.

The airport facilities are good, transfer from international to domestic are provided by the airport facility but again be aware that (international to domestic) if your have connecting flights you need to be aware that the distrance from international to domestic terminal is approx 2km so you need to hurry, the baggage is collected at the international terminal itself so little peace of mind.

Only one phrase can describe the Mumbai International Airport Terminal 2: A Labour of Love. The exterior looks stunning with towering pillars. Mood lighting in corniches within the pillars highlight the architecture. Step inside and the beautiful columns are complemented by Moorish oval shaped structures. The boarding gates are some distance away, but use the travellators. You can also use the golf carts.
On the way to the boarding gates, one side of the wall is a veritable museum. Exquisite sculptures, paintings, and other installation are make it one of the most beautiful airports in the world. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it makes Singapore's Changi look like a soviet style apartment block.

Getting to the airport can be tough but as soon as you reach Sahar Elevated highway then begins your world class voyage. everything is top notch. The airport is cleaner, better and more awesome than any airport i have been to in the world. It has great facilities and the decorations, etc are better than even DXB or JFK or LHR. only once you leave the airport road your wonderful dream ends.

Great once you are through security check.
I was on transit from Bangkok to Zurich and it is obvious that Mumbai airport is not used to dealing with international transits as we had to wait an hour by the customs until someone came to pick us up to guide us through security checks and had a tough time explaining to the police that we were not entering India at all.

Minimum 2 hours drive from downtown (for safe driving).
Passengers should be good athlete to cross hurdler starting from Entrance gate to aircraft. I have been checked 2 times (useless) in boarding pass queue, 1 time at airline counter, 4 times in queue for aircraft boarding (3 times unnecessary), Huhhhhhh

I liked the airport in general but stayed lounge most time and they had very few power outlets which was a big disappointment. Food and drinks was above average and there some really good Indian main dishes and desserts.

Very advanced and well organized airport. We entered right in the middle of the morning rush meaning there were easily 600-800 people trying to get on connecting flights or just leave the airport and it was handled superbly. Just make sure you know your place in the security lines as people will try and push in front of you and the pretend like they cannot speak English, even though they definitely can.

Arrival at Mumbai was a shocker from baggage claim perspective. It took about an hour to get the two bags on carousel. Jet Airways probably runs only one tractor to go back and forth to bring luggage. This is the slowest baggage claim I have ever seen.
Also, baggage claim at Mumbai, crossing the customs screen and checking in for domestic flight is too primitive an approach.

Immigration (if you fly business) was fast and without problem.
Lounge:
One device can be connected to the WIFI only at the same time (must be connected to the public WIFI by phone number).

There's no lounge at Terminal 1B and the quality of food being served at their shops is deplorable. Getting to the domestic airport isn't an easy feat either. In future, I would try avoiding Mumbai when flying domestic and it's my suggestion to fellow travelers as well.

Chhtrapati Shivaji Airport's terminal 1D (or the domestic terminal) is where Indigo Airlines and other low cost airlines are serviced. And frankly, the terminal is pretty spartan. The WiFi is patchy. The chairs are pretty uncomfortable. And when we went looking for basic dinner options like a sandwich, the food was stale.

Mumbai domestic is a terrible airport. I wanted to write a few bullet points for the overall Mumbai airport management for following reasons:
1. The transfer from International to Domestic is a terribly mismanaged one. The buses are inadequate and nobody announces when the next bus will arrives.
2. The WiFi at the international terminal (T2) is good. In 1B, it is ridiculously unavailable.
3. The food stalls at 1B sell unpalatable food at extremely inflated price tag.
4. There are numerous security checks before boarding the bus and after. Not sure why so many similar checks are necessary.

You can get there only by taxi and you actually can't predict how long it would take. When you finally get to the airport, there are lots of pointless controls. When you enter terminal they check your documents and printed reservation. Before you get in the queue to check-ins they again check your passport. After security control, they stamp your boarding pass, than another guy, about 20 meters farther ,checks if it's stamped. Later boarding passes are checked another two times- at the gate, and in the jetway. There is also another security control of hand luggage during boarding.
On the positive side international terminal looks nice and is very clean, especially for Indian standards, prices in restaurants are reasonable, WiFi works ok, as long as you seat in one place.

Someone forgot to put in the moving walkways for arriving passengers! Long walk punctuated by short and sporadic moving walkways when other airports would put in long ones to cover the majority of the distance.

Flights are not announced at gate due to silent airport rule. Boarding is a disaster, rather than flight staff using the loud speaker to announce flight and boarding, they scream the boarding the info at the crowd of passengers

8 times passport control is much more than a safe flight needs.
After access to the airport you have no chance to leave it again!
I was there 5,5 hours before departure.
Checkin only with handluggage was not possible, staff was not there.
Checkin with automatic checkin counter also not possible, you need a stamp after getting the boarding pass from ground staff before you can pass the security control.
Decided to have dinner nearby in Hyatt (because I could not go to the Lounge, no Boarding pass ...). But I was not allowed to leave the Airport without stamp of Lufthansa staff on my ticket. ... how if they were not there?
They really let a Business class passenger wait in the entrance hall!
Mumbai Airport is the most bureaucratic Airport I have ever experienced.

Amazing new International Terminal but very long walk from gate with minimal travolators.
Baggage delivery is still shambolic - over 1 hour from doors opening on a/c to receipt of 'Priority' marked luggage

Peace of crap lounge, good luck trying to get Wi-Fi. Absolutely worthless lounge. Flying in business on domestic flights on Jet Airways is a waste of money. Domestic terminal is very crappy overall. Outrageous prices in bars, scarce food in the lounge. Security is very annoying and incompetent, but one of the betterish compared to the rest of Indian airports. Next time I will definitely avoid domestic transfers in Mumbai.
