Connection time req for dom-Intl transfer in Mumbai??
Have 2 hours 10 minutes for connection between Jet Airways from Hyderabad and Continental to Newark - is that enough time?
What are the best transfer options? I know the airport has a coach service but is it easier to arrange a car to go between the two airports.
Thanks for your help.

Hi:
Depending on what time you arrive, you will have to wait for the coach for up to 1 hr. +. I did that recently and it is a good option if you have several hours between flights. In your case the best option would be to arrange for a car to take you there as it will probably get you there well in time for you to check in.

this may be a bit tight but is possible. We landed from an internal flight and collected luggage and caught the coach within 20 mins. The coach is pretty quick. From another forum I am on I can say that most folks who take alternative transport would say you need 3 to 3 and a half hours.
By the way we were checked in for our international flight within an hour, but we did get the coach immediately.

An update
Well, this did not turn out well.
Incoming flight was delayed by over an hour due to ATC issues. Caught the coach within 20 minutes of landing and made it to the International Terminal just in time for them to close the flight.
Ended up buying a ticket on the Delta flight instead. Jet refused any compensation as I didnt have the required 3 hour connection time.

I'm glad I checked this forum. I just asked the same question in another post... Having never been to Mumbai, I thought 85 minutes would have been enough, but that was before I learned that one has to take ground transportation between the Domestic and International terminals. So, I guess I was crazy to assume 85 minutes would be enough! Sounds like I need twice that amount, right?

Go with Delta
I flew CO in business on the way out and DL in business back to NY. I like the Bizelite seats much better than BF plus the cabin has a newer and cleaner look

Both DL & CO fly 777 planes. BE seats are slightly newer due to personal IFE upgrade. Food should be similar. OTH, booze selection on BF I am unaware of recent options.
