Ben, no praise for the greenback, but when travelling in Asia you always need to carry a wad of one (US) dollar bills. Very useful in tricky situations. The beer (in cans) was free in the BOM clipper lounge, but the MAA clipper is atleast 2-3 times the size of the BOM one, so I wouldn't hold my breath. The toilets in that place are pretty much the same as in the MAA one. No showers AFAIK. BOM T2 will change rapidly, so hope for great things to come. OTOH direct flights to other indian gateway are increasing, so I guess I won't travel thru BOM that often in the future.
