How to reach Domestic and international Airport in mumbai

By vcsreddy

The entrances for Domestic airport mumbai and International Airport mumbai are different, but runway is same. For Domestic airport there are two terminals 1A and 1B. To reach domestic airport nearest local railway station is Ville Parle. Get down there and come outside to Ville parle (east).From there you can take an auto for a max distance of 2 KM. Or can have number of buses plying from ville parle east station to airport.

For International Airport in Mumbai the nearest local railway station is Andheri. You can get down there and come outside to Andheri(East) and from there you can take Auto max of 3 KM. Here i don’t have an  idea about the terminals but all at same side only.

    first of all the run way is same for domestic and international.there are special buses running from domestic to international terminals by airport authority of india. u can directly go there using that service.or u can come out of internation terminal and hire a taxi which will cost u 50 rs to domestic.

    Sharmila,
    I travel regularily the Sydney- Mumbai – Cochin route, and often do the International to Domestic transfer using the Airport Courtesy Bus, that usually runs at 30 min intervals. On the odd occasion, I have taken the cab (you can book it at the pre-paid counter as you come out of customs) and it costs about Rs. 150. I find the courtesy bus most convenient as it picks you from the secure area and takes you via a shorter route.
    Happy journey…Cheers..Suresh

    What is the approx. distance between mumbai domestic airport and mumbai central station? What is the approx. time in which a person can commute between the two?

  8. Sairam Says:

    Hi All,

    For your guidance.

    For domestic and International Terminals, the gates are different for departure. But both the Terminals have the same RUNWAY.

    If you are coming to International Terminal and want to go to Domestic Terminal and if you already have a ticket, then you can catch a shuttle bus which departs every 30 minutes between the two terminals.

    On the contrary if you wish to go outside and come back to the Domestic Terminal, then there are 2 lines running in Mumbai. They are the Central Railway Line and the Western Railway Line.

    If you choose to go to the western line (from the Domestic Terminal) then the nearest Suburban Train Station is VillleParle. (Hardly 2 kms)

    If you choose to go to the western line (from the International Terminal) then the nearest Suburban Train Station is Andheri. (Hardly 3 kms)

    If you choose to go to the Central line (from the Domestic Terminal) then the nearest Suburban Train Station is Kurla. (9 kms). Auto Charges are between 60 to 70

    If you choose to go to the western line (from the International Terminal) then the nearest Suburban Train Station is Ghatkopar. (7 kms). Auto Charges between 50 to 55 only.

    Also wanted to inform you that the down trains are heavily crowded between 7:00 AM till 11:00 AM. and the UP trains are heavily crowded between 6:00 PM till 11:00 PM. So if you have luggages then you better choose a TAXI or a RICKSHAW upon arrival to your destination.

    UP trains means –> Towards CST on Central Line
    –> Towards Church Gate in Western Line and Vice versa.

    Hope all the answers are answered and if you still have any queries, please feel free to ask and I can guide you.

  23. nuno Says:

    To be on the safe side, and if you’re landing at the Domestic Airport but Departing from the International Airport, you should count on 3 1/2hrs muimum time between flights. Although the RWY and the Airport as such is the same, everything takes a lot of time to be done. I suggest you take a taxi(+-100Rs) which depending on traffic will take around 25 minutes.

  24. thavrin Says:

    hi pls tell me how far is the international airport from the domestic,and how much will the taxi charge maximum.is the domestic far from the international thanks.waiting for a reply.

    Would you please suggest some cheap or budget hotel near Andheri east or west? I am coming to mumbai first time.

  28. P.K JHAMB Says:

    Hi,

    The Road distance of Mumbai Domestic Airport (Santacruz) to Bandra Station is about 7 Kilometer and to Mumbai Central it is about 21 Kilometer. The best mode of Transport to Bandra is by Auto Rickshaw (Upto 3 Passengers with limited Luggage). The charges are about 50 to 55 Km (Rs 10 per point, 5 Points= 5 Miles= 5 x1.6 = 8 Kilometers)

    However for going to Mumbai Central which is 21 KM or about 14 Miles, the best transport is by Taxi, which charges about Rs 13 per mile plus say about 20 Rs. for Luggage. So total amout will be around 14 x 13 + 20 = 202 , Say between Rs 200 to 225 . If any Taxi driver charges more on meter, U may lodge complaint with RTO office, quoting Taxi Number and route travelled. As Auto Rickshaws do not ply in City Area, so hiring Taxi on meter is a beter choice. Pre-Paid Taxi may charge more.

    Otherwise One may hire Auto and go to Villay Parle Local Railway Stn. (2 to 3 Km from Domestic Airport) and catch Local train bound for Church Gate and alight at Mumbai Central on the way, following the route Bandra-Dadar-Mumbai Central. However the crowded trains and chances of pick pocketing are the factors to avoid going by local trains for those with luggage and new to Mumbai. Mumbaikar are accustomed to travel by Local trains.

    One thing more, these days some A.C Taxis are also plying from Airport to any destination in Mumbai with same rate as Rs. 13 per mile and the service and behaviour of Taxi drivers is also fantastic. I can give some phone numbers if some one specifically interested.

    Regards,

  31. chandu Says:

    You can get ac cabs by calling 4422 4422 in mumbai,banglore,hyderabad and delhi. charges are 15 rs per KM

  32. chandu Says:

    u can book ecabs call 09766366663

    Though Cool cabs are good option but has some issues like:

    - Rs.325 is the price if you share it among 4 people. If you share is among 3 people it will cost you approx 435 or so.
    - Sharing among 4 people is very uncomfortable.
    - You need to travel all the way to cool cab stands in congested and polluted roadside cool cab stand
    - Many a times you will not find people available to share a cab, and will need to wait, mostly you will need to negotiate to share it among 3 people to reduce waiting time.
    - if you are going to pune, then railway station is the last stap and they will not drop you in your area or home.
