Gone are the days of making an educated guess on a route, only to have ATC respond with a full route clearance with intersections and airways. It now takes only a moment in ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot or FltPlan.com to enter a departure and destination airport and then see recently issued clearances to other aircraft flying the same route.

The airpoort has 4 runways: 09/27, 10/28 , 11L/29R and 11R/29L. It's not easy to arrive early at Mumbai due to the heavy traffic and also the airport operates a single runway for both departure and landing. Anyway we were informed about the turbulence and for this flight, the first officer did the announcements.

At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly.
