Dear All

We are arriving on BA0199 (J class) on Friday morning at 11.45 a.m.and are then due to depart to Goa on JetConnect 9W2384 in economy at 15.00.

From what I read, both here and on the India based airlines forum, (BOM airport questions), where I also posted this, this could be a little tight - the tickets are separate - redemption on BA and paid on Jetairways/jetConnect. We will have checked luggage.

We return on JetConnect on the following Saturday - 9W7010 arrives BOM 20.00. We depart BOM on BA0138 at 02.40 on Sunday morning, in J. Which seems to leave us a little better time wise

Would anyone be able to offer any thoughts/advice on the above (especially the BOM to GOA leg) or tips please on trying to maximise the chance of making the connection?

What are the lounges like for BA when leaving BOM please?
Plus - would anyone know if we can smoke once through passport control on the international side of BOM on the return leg?

I also see that only the first 15KGs are free on Jet - ouch, do you know if I can pay for excess by credit card please?

I also have Miles&Smiles Elite and BA Gold if that helps at all.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards.
