<DIV>Michael,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I was going to do that Tuesday morning, 24 hours before you, but
Lufthansa cancelled their flight from Frankfurt to Mumbai. At no charge
they changed my reservation to one through Bangalore, including booking the
last leg on a domestic airline to Hyderabad.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The international terminal and the domestic terminals in Mumbai are
separated by a distance of 1-2 miles. I think that you have to go
outside the airport building and around the airport to the other side.
Check it with Google Earth.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd rebook through another city if it is easy to do.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE>Hello All,<BR><BR>Any one who wants to avoid Bombay have
several options: 1) fly direct into hyderabad if there is a direct
flight or 2) fly to any of the cities - Chennai (Madras), Bangalore or
Delhi (New Delhi) which are all cities well connected by air to
Hyderabad.<BR><BR>The domestic and international terminals in Chennai and
Bangalore are NOT in separate locations. In Delhi they are in separate
locations, but transfers are usually taken care of the by the airlines,
there are courtesy coaches, and even if it is not included, it is not a
problem at all finding free or paid transportation at $ 5 - $ 10<BR><BR><A

all to attend the IGF at Hyderabad, and I have no hesitation in saying
that it would be a normal experience in any city other than Mumbai and
that those traveling to Hyderabad will be secure in Hyderabad and shall
have a good experience.<BR><BR>Welcome to the IGF.<BR><BR>Sivasubramanian
