Luggage storage at Mumbai Airport

A long layover or early checkout before a late flight leaves hours to fill at Mumbai Airport, and the terminal's own storage desk isn't always the obvious answer for every kind of traveller.

Getting there with luggage is manageable: Metro Line 3 serves both terminals, and the AC airport buses carry bags at no extra charge. Security screening happens before the departure area, which means any bag you’re not flying with needs sorting out beforehand. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is also a central hub for flights across India. You can store baggage at Mumbai Airport's official left-luggage facility for up to 90 days. The Aviserv Lounge at Terminal 2 Arrivals offers baggage storage alongside sleeping pods and showers. Pranaam is a paid meet-and-assist service that can help you navigate airport procedures at Mumbai Airport. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag a day.

⁣There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage near Mumbai Airport can be booked through the website or app.⁣

Before you fly: bag rules and security

Each passenger may carry one handbag weighing no more than 7 kg, with dimensions up to 55cm x 40cm x 20cm — anything larger needs to travel as checked baggage or be stored before security. Liquids, aerosols and gels must be in containers of 100 ml or less, all inside a single transparent, resealable plastic bag, so decanting into travel-sized bottles before you arrive is worth the effort. Every passenger goes through security screening after check-in and before entering the departure area, which means any bag you’re not flying with needs to be sorted out beforehand. For domestic departures, oversized baggage goes to the OOG belt near islands A and N rather than the standard check-in counters.

Getting to and from the airport with luggage

The airport lies 14 kilometres from Mumbai Central Railway station, so a train connection into the city is realistic but best planned with luggage in mind, especially if you’re toting a heavy bag. Metro Line 3 serves both airport terminals, with fares between ₹10 and ₹80 depending on distance, though Terminal 2 involves a transfer from the Metro 3 airport station. If you’re taking the Metro with bags, services run from roughly 06:00 to 23:40, every 3.5 to 4 minutes at peak times and 8 to 12 minutes off-peak. Luggage is carried at no extra charge on the AC airport bus services. If you’re switching between the Metro 3 airport station and Terminal 2 with luggage, there’s a temporary free bus service with a dedicated baggage loader to help with transfers.
