Travelling from Eastern suburbs on Mumbai, passed the busy Andheri Kurla Link road.
Arriving at the Airport
I had arrived on time for the trip, completed the check-in, Immigration did not take long as the international terminal was not busy during noon time, After completing security, waited for the boarding call.
Flight Schedule
Soon boarding was called by seat numbers, I had chosen the seat in the tailend as it is 2 seater, unlike the other seats in economy cabin.
