Leaving Mumbai

The flight after midnight.

Many of the long flights out of Mumbai — to Europe, the Gulf and beyond — leave between midnight and four in the morning, and the city's traffic does not care what hour it is. The house plans the hour to leave so that you reach Terminal 2 with the check-in comfortably open and nothing to hurry for.

I

The hour to leave, planned

The house works it back from your flight — three hours before an international departure, two before a domestic one — and from your address, at that hour of that night.

II

At your door, ten minutes early

The car is at your door ten minutes before the hour, and your sarathi writes when he is there. Nobody rings the bell of a sleeping house.

III

The luggage, the terminal, the gate

Bags loaded and counted, the terminal and gate confirmed on the way, and the drop at the departures kerb nearest your airline.

IV

Someone kept informed

If you are leaving family behind, or travelling alone, the house can write to someone you choose when you are at the airport.

Nothing addedNo night charge, at any hour

Inside every written figure: the car, your sarathi, fuel, every toll, parking at both ends and GST. Nothing is added on the day, and no meter runs.

Questions guests ask

When should I leave for a 2 AM international flight from Mumbai?
Plan to reach the airport three hours before it. The house works the hour to leave back from your address and the night's roads, and tells you in writing.
Is there a night charge for a midnight airport drop?
No. Nothing is added for the hour; the written figure is the figure you pay.
Will the driver ring the doorbell?
No. Your sarathi writes when he is at your door, ten minutes before the hour.
