Flying out

When to leave for the airport.

Choose where you are, which airport and when the flight leaves. The planner works backwards from the hour the airport would like you there, through that hour’s roads, and adds twenty minutes for the city being the city.

Leave by—

A guide, not a promise: a flood, a procession or a VIP movement can change any road in Mumbai on any day. When you reserve, the house writes the hour to leave for your exact address and that day, and its sarathi is at your door ten minutes before it.

Questions guests ask

How early should I leave for Mumbai airport for an international flight?
Plan to be at the terminal three hours before. From South Mumbai at the evening peak that can mean leaving well over four hours before the flight; the planner on this page gives a careful hour for your area and time.
How long does it take to reach Navi Mumbai airport from Bandra?
Roughly an hour late at night and two hours or more at the evening peak, depending on the road. The house plans the hour for your exact address when you reserve.
Is the leave-by time a guarantee?
No — it is a careful guide with twenty minutes of cushion. When you reserve, the house writes the hour for your exact address and day.
