Flying in first on Air India does have priority at check in, right?
Is departing IC Marine Drive at 6PM on a Sunday night for a 9PM flight time enough to not miss the flight? Uber or taxi? Last visit the hotel staff arranged for a taxi but that was years ago... One medium size bag to check.
US citizen w/ 10 year India visa, for reference.
On Sunday evening should take you about an hour to reach the airport. Uber is the best. 5:45-6 PM should be fine. I'd keep a watch on the traffic situation. AI has priority....
