At T-50, we headed out for the hike to Gate 4. Yep, another bus gate. Boarding started at T-35 and five minutes later we were boarding at a remote stand. Completely full flight tonight including all 6 rows of Business. Comfortable seating and even more leg room than on the JetKonnect flight earlier in the day.

One of bad things about a tarmac boarding position is that the doors are wide open to the elements, and in BOM that means mosquitoes, the one thing we didn't want to see. We had taken our malaria meds but the sight of a couple of mosquitoes was all it took for us to lather up with more Deet. The guy in 1B killed one of them much to the delight of the couple in 1CD and Jr and me.

PDBs and bottled water prior to push.

After TO, our FAs promptly started service.

With a full meal service on a two hour 2AM departure.

Not many takers tonight but I took one for the team, opting for the odd Chicken Quiche, Mexican Chicken Wrap combo. Both were delicious.

Yay, CMB has jet bridges and we got to use them tonight without enduring another bus shuttle.
