Hi all,
I'm looking at crossing from Asia to the Middle East via one of these airports - mainly because the price is right and the flights can be done overnight.
I will be coming off MH and onto QR.

Both MH flights arrive into the Indian cities around midnight. The QR flights that I'd like to use depart around 04:30.

Now the questions :
Is it possible to do a airside transit at Cochin ? (BOM, from my research, yes).
Both airlines are OW members, so I will have my luggage tagged through - will this work at both airports ? Hopefully I'll have my QR BP pre-printed.
Are lounges operational in the wee hours at both airports - I'd assume yes, as long as there is flight activity. Lounge reviews are available for the Clipper lounge in BOM but I'm scratching to find anything for COK. Any help here ? Actually, the BOM Lounge takes a bit of a caning due to overcrowding issues.

I haven't booked this yet - just looking at it.
Many thanks.
