Farewell, Mumbai

When David checked in online for our BA flights he found that all the window seats had been taken (apparently) which was disappointing

Then when we checked our bags at the airport we were given different seats to those offered online and we were told the plane had been changed (to a larger one we believe) but still we were given one aisle and one end of centre row seats.

David suggested upgrading but then found out that the cost was an additional £400 each so changed his mind rather hastily.

I said what a shame it was that we weren't getting good seats, unlike on our outward journey which was excellent and the very nice young man winked and said 'I'll see what I can do' ... lo & behold we got window and adjoining seat!

I was able to take photos as we departed showing just how close the slums are to the runways at the airport ...















There were so many spare seats in our Premium Economy section that we were able to spread out and we had a really great flight back.      Very pleased we didn't fork out to upgrade as we didn't need to sleep on the plane (daytime flight) and we had loads of legroom plus reclining chairs so were very comfortable.

The flight landed early so just 9 hours from Mumbai to Heathrow .... then 3 hours from Heathrow to Whitstable (crazy isn't it)?

  2. Thanks Jenni. I was amazed at how close the slums are to the airport. I just snapped away as we were taxiing to the runway. The perimeter fencing looks very flimsy but I guess it could be electrified ... there were only a couple of guards in view.
