BOM Transfer question
 
I have found lots of information about transferring domestic to international but I am wondering about domestic transfers between terminal 1A and 1B (AI-6E).

I have never transferred in BOM before and I am considering booking a 45 minute connection in BOM arriving on AI and departing on 6E.
Is it possible to walk (quickly) from 1A to 1B and not have to go through security?
Thanks.

You absolutely have to cross security when you move between terminals.

At T1B Arrivals, after Baggage collection, there's a dedicated exit to connect with other flights. Haven't noticed the same at T1A.

Although, the buildings are about a 7 minute walk apart, with 45 minutes difference, it is not recommended to risk such a connection. Assuming, you OLCI for 6E and have no check-in baggage, the Security check alone can take a long time at the T1B.

Thanks for the input.
I suppose I will not take the chance and just spend 4 hours waiting for the next AI flight instead.

BOM Transfer question
 
Also at BOM you may spend 45 minutes just to get clearance to land for your first flight. So if you are not on the same PNR better to have 60 extra minutes to visit juhu beach IMHO.
