My question is whether there is any realistic likelihood of making this connection or if I should just get a room overnight and reload for the next day? Any recommendations on a hotel between the international and domestic terminals? How much time should I allocate on the return domestic-international transfer? Thanks for your advice! I recall in the past it's been a mess xferring in Mumbai, and I'm not sure if the new T2 has made it better or worse!
I connected from Goa to the UA BOM-EWR flight and had exactly 4 hours for the connection. I needed and used that 4 hours. We made our connection with VERY VERY little time to spare. As bluedemon211 indicated, overnighting is safest and not too expensive. You can always take an earlier Goa flight on Jet too.
