Our connecting flight is at 6:30am next day. So we have a 6 hr wait at night in Mumbai. There are main queries really
1. Will the airline help us with the transfer and our luggage or do we need to take care of it our self?
2. Another worry we have is how to kill time for say 5 hrs? What facilities will be available at that hour in the international or domestic airport? Are there any bars/shops/restaurant/food joints that will be open in the night inside the airport? Is it advisable to go out into the city or book a nearby hotel?
Having read enough, i don't think any airline allows lounge access to economy passengers , so would appreciate any ideas you can provide.

Thanks!
My flight from New York area is arriving to Mumbai around 9 PM and my connecting KingFisher airlines flight to Bangalore is at 6:30 AM next day. I am wondering if I can check-in my baggage this early for 6:30 AM flight and some how spend the rest of the night in one of the lounges. Please advise.Thanks.
