What's the cheapest way to get from South Mumbai to the International Airport (BOM)?
My hotel is in Colaba near the Gateway of India. I like to know what's the cheapest way to get to the international airport by 8am.
Best Answer
The cheapest way to get around will be to take a B.E.S.T. bus from Colaba to the international airport (called Sahar, or CST). Unfortunately, there is no direct route, and the schedules for the buses are not followed strictly, for you to work out the connections.
Another way would be the local trains, but again, in the absence of anything direct, there would be changes involved.
Based on the fickleness of Mumbai traffic, and the urgency surrounding a trip to the airport, I would recommend flagging down a metered taxi around 5.30 am. The journey, theoretically, is only about 30 km, but traffic can get gnarly. The cost should be less than US$15, in INR, of course.
Additionally, if you are getting late, you may want to consider asking the taxi to take the Bandra-Worli sealink. This does carry a toll, and use only if you are short on time.

How can I go from domestic to international airport in Mumbai?
If you're transferring between domestic Terminal 1 and international Terminal 2, the only option is to take a taxi. Unfortunately, there's no longer a free inter-terminal shuttle bus. Allow 30 minutes to complete the trip as you'll need to take the outside road and there may be traffic congestion.Which station is near to Mumbai International Airport?

Answer 2
There is also an option of sharing taxis to Churchgate Station & from Andheri Station to the airport.
Keep in mind the traffic. It can take about an hour or more from Andheri Station to the airport during rush hour as against 20 minutes during the morning, ahhh the fast train can be really really crowded I would prefer the slow train during the day.
