The airport in Mumbai is called Chattrapathi Shivaji International Airport.  This is the busiest airport in India.  Mumbai  is the business hub of India.

Passport and customs check are done in Mumbai.

We will receive our checked luggage in Mumbai.

Upon arrival in Mumbai, a coach will take us to another terminal, called Santa Cruz domestic airport (about 15-20 minutes away).  

We will need 2-3 hours to complete passport check, pick up luggage and travel to domestic airport. I expect that we will be at the domestic airport around 3am (morning!).  We will have about three hours at the airport.  We will have our first Indian coffee here.

We leave for Bangalore by Sahara Airlines at 6:20am.  Flying time is about 1hour and 35 minutes.  Aircraft is Boeing 737.
