Mumbai Airport, March 26, 2018:

And we are off. Well, almost then. So it’s like this so far: up at 3.45 am, checkout at 4.25, airport at 4.35 – checkin, security and coffee done and we are now heading to the boarding gate – all within 30 minutes of arriving at Mumbai airport T2 – how cool is that?

The great advantage of flying Air India at dawn (apart from the fact that we will get into Chandigarh early) is that we get to fly out of the awesome T2 terminal.

And there’s quite a lot of people up and about the airport at this time by the way.
