Hi

I will arrive at Chhatrapati Shivaji airport (BOM) | Terminal 2 around midnight.
My friend does only speak spanish and will arrive around 03 00 . He relies on me.

Is it correct that there is still no waiting - meeting place inside the arrival hall, so I have to go outside and wait him there ?

Do I have to show an intinerary to get the bus to the domestic 1a terminal ?
We probably would go and buy a ticket from terminal 1a on the spot after we have met
Possible ?
Thank you for your advice/reply.

Why you need official meeting place? It is so simple-wait inside the airport next to the exit. What do you mean itenerary? You do not have to show any itenerary. Besides, what would itenerary prove?

Last time I did that (3/4 years ago) you needed to have an onward flight ticket to use the free shuttle bus to the domestic terminal

Hi flanagan

I mean proof of onward flight before being allowed on the airport bus.
It means taking the bus and buy our ticket upon arrival at the domestic terminal is not possible.

But why not buy tickets trough [www.cleartrip.com] ,print them and have a proof of flight for the airport bus.

Coming from panama to mumbai are 2 long flights
We thought of arriving, meeting each other, see if we are still alive and decide to sleep or move on.

Thanks for the hint
