Hello everyone,

I have a trip coming up that includes (on purpose!) a full day stop in BOM (arrive from HYD on 9W around 8:00AM, depart to EWR on UA around 11:30PM). I'm planning to spend the day in the city (using this and this thread as starting points for my itinerary). I was considering looking for some kind of day rate at a hotel for the sole purpose of having a place to store luggage, but it sounds like BOM airport has left luggage service. This even includes a service to transfer the left luggage from the domestic terminal (in which I arrive) to the international terminal (from which I depart). Has anyone used this storage or transfer service, and is it reputable and reliable? I would certainly take any valuables with me for the day.

Another alternative: if I hire a car and driver for the day, I would hope that it would be safe to keep my belongings with the driver, but any comments on this (possibly poor) assumption are welcome.

Thanks!
