I recently flew from Mumbai to Bhopal from T1 Mumbai and got to experience the self-baggage drop feature first-hand. I was impressed by how smooth the process was, and there is currently plenty of ground staff around to help and support anyone who might need assistance. Since it was my first time using the facility, I wanted to make sure I had not missed any important steps. I then tried to understand the complete process from them, so I could share exactly what travellers need to know. From getting your baggage tag to collecting the receipt, here is the step-by-step process for using self-baggage drop at Mumbai Airport.
Once prompted, place your tagged baggage on the conveyor belt with the baggage tag positioned correctly. The airport’s automated baggage handling system then takes over, processing and routing your luggage for your flight. This helps reduce waiting time and keeps the baggage drop process moving.
My first experience with self baggage drop at T1 Mumbai was surprisingly straightforward. The process takes much of the routine work out of bag drop, while staff remain close by for assistance. Just keep your boarding pass and baggage tag ready, follow the screen instructions and remember to collect your receipt before heading to security.
