Hi Yaatri, there's the inter terminal coach which should work just fine for you.

IT first books into the typical business fare buckets - J, C, D, I (see for example the fare buckets listed at http://www.qatarairways.com/privileg...-airlines.html)

if you don't want to wait for the transfer bus then you can just catch a cab....but they probably won't let you in to the airport before 3:30am or so....

So I can't get into the lounge too. Not sure if AF will issue be BP for IT when I check-in at IAD.

probably not....but even if they do, the security at the domestic airport won't let you in 3 hours before your flight....

I travelled last Sept. via the BOM domestic terminal and was able enter it in the wee hours, about 02:30 / 03AM... There wasn't any problem with the security permitting me to enter the airport way early for my 06:45 flight.

But, I am not to sure about the lounge access at that time of the day..!

Good Luck..!

actually you are right....the first flight of the day is around 5:30am so security will let you in 3 hours before that....

the lounge will also be open 3 hours before the first flight of the day....

at the Clipper lounge in BOM 1A terminal and 1B terminal, I have seen early morning pax schmooze to take their connections. However, the lounge starts F&B service at 6:30-7:00 AM onwards only...
