New International Terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (Mumbai)


A new terminal for international flights opened in February. It's a really spectacular structure -- rather looks like the Starship Enterprise from the outside -- all rounded curves in white. It's a huge upgrade from the old terminal!

On my way back to the States, I took a few pix:

The check-in area.
In addition to new facilities, the check-in and immigration (well, really emigration) checkpoints have been streamlined. Nice!

The ceiling is all curves and well-lit.

No modern airport is complete without the opportunity to spend a lot of $$$.

The business/first class lounge.
Flying business class (courtesy frequent flyer miles) was very nice -- being able to turn your seat into a flat bed made for a minimum of jet lag. Too bad I'll only be able to do this once a year. …
