While the Inter-terminus coach was winding its way thru the airports,it was a night full of activity at the Mumbai airports-the coach was following dotted lines on the road marked for its travel thru the restricted area of the airport-we can see private aircrafts getting ready for take off, big aircrafts getting towed away to parking bays,international aircrafts being loaded with cargo,people running about doing their respective jobs.It was a great insight to be had for what goes inside India’s busiest airports.
By the time the coach reached the international terminus departure gates,we were running short of time.We rushed and the Jet Airways staff were there to help us-they guided us to the immigration area.Immigration took its own sweet time and as soon as we came out of the immigration gates,the Jet guy said-Run,Your flight is only being held for your group.We actually ran a couple of yards,landing up panting at the aircraft gates.Here again the passport and documents were checked and we were so relieved that Hey,now we can board our flight-at last.
This was a direct flight from Mumbai to London.The craft was really good,loaded with personal Video screen,comfortable reclining seats in Economy class.The flight was full and we settled down after putting the luggage in the overhead compartment.The overnight flight afforded us a restful bout of sleep and we were raring to go to catch our Swissair flight to Zurich.After a hearty breakfast,we landed 15 minutes late than scheduled time at London’s Heathrow airport.We had to really move fast to catch our connecting flight and there was no time to waste.
