How To Avail FREE Inter Terminal Bus Service At Mumbai Airport Between T1 & T2
it’s available
thanks
rasheed
Dear Sir,
I will be arriving with my pregnant daughter by 10.30 PM on 26th Aug 2024 at Mumbai T2 terminal from Adelaide by Singapore Airlines,and my next flight is on 27th morning at 9.30AM to Kolhapur From T1 Terminal.I wish to stay at Transit Lounge.
Can I go to the T1 Domestic Terminal transit Lounge immediately after I get cleared from all formalities late night or have to stay at Terminal T2 in the night and go to Terminal 1 next day early morning.Will I be allowed to go into T2 terminal and transit lounge at night about 10 hours earlier to my next flight from T1
Hi Avinash Sir,
Access to lounges in the domestic terminal (T1) is only allowed once you have checked in for your domestic flight. Since your flight is the next morning, you might not be able to check-in and use the T1 lounge immediately upon arrival at T2. Given the late arrival and the long layover, it would be more comfortable and less complicated to stay at the T2 transit lounge overnight. You can then move to T1 terminal in the morning, ensuring you have enough time for check-in and security procedures.
Staying at T2 terminal transit lounge means you don’t have to leave the airport premises, making it convenient and less stressful, especially for your pregnant daughter.
You can also check our Mumbai Airport Lounge and Hotel Guide for making an informed decision.
Is it easy to get porter help from T1 to T2 for the suitcases?
Hi Derek,
Porter services are only available if you book them from the designated terminal. However, they will guide you to the Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP), taxi booking desks, or the receiving party. For more details on porter service and charges, you can read here.
Is the selection of shops and restaurants at Mumbai Airport truly reflective of the diverse and vibrant culture of the city, or does it cater more to generic international tastes?”,

I would be reaching Mumbai terminal T2 and need to catch shivering from terminal 1 can I use the airport shuttle service.
You have to show the boarding pass of your next flight from T1 to avail the service.
I’m parking my car at T2 and catching a flight and returning back on a flight at T1. Can I use the shuttle service for T2?
Hello Pruthvi. Keep both the boarding passes and car parking receipt.
