BOM has a very good lounge so you can spend some time there
if you have a few extra hours..

Good Luck..F.A.
Time is not an issue. I imagine the MS counters will be open four hours prior to flight time, so I can check in early. Shall enjoy a few drinks in the lounge then, since there won't be any alcohol service on board

I used to fly DEL-BOM quite regularly a few years ago to catch the 1:40am Delta departure out of BOM. Never did it in the new terminal. Options on the ground were abysmal in the old terminal so my attempt would always be to avoid spending much time there.

Thanks for that information.
