Tickets, Luggage & Late-Night Arrivals

How Tickets & Payments Work

Uber and Ola operate seamless digital pickups at T2 Level P7. For short hops, ensure you book an AC vehicle to escape Mumbai's heat and humidity.

Traveling with Suitcases

BKC is very close to BOM; even with luggage, a taxi ride is quick and stress-free.

Arriving After Midnight

Late-night drives from BOM to BKC take as little as 15 minutes due to clear elevated flyovers.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Taking an auto-rickshaw from T2 international terminal—auto rickshaws are not allowed to pick up passengers directly inside T2 arrivals (they operate only from T1 domestic or outside the airport perimeter).
  • Traveling during the evening rush hour peak (18:00-20:00) without budgeting 15-20 extra minutes for BKC entry gates.
  • Refuse unsolicited offers from porters or touts in the arrivals corridor. Always pay at the official Mumbai Traffic Police Prepaid Taxi counter inside the baggage area, or book Uber/Ola at Level P7.
