Mumbai Flights

Busy and bustling, yet vibrant and warm, Mumbai is a city that can initially seem overwhelming, but with a bit of exploration, it’s understandably a haven for tourists.
Historically rich and surprisingly modern, this destination is home to such attractions as the Haji Ali Dargah and the Jehangir Art Gallery, the Mahalkshmi Temple and the Brabourne Stadium.
As this location is often packed with visitors trying to soak up the exciting array of activities, it is no surprise that cheap flights to Mumbai are easy to find if you do some forward planning.

Best time to go to Mumbai

Peak Season:

From November through February, Mumbai can be very congested, as the streets are filled with both locals and excitement-hungry tourists.
If you can manage to find cheap accommodation and flights to the city, this is an excellent time to go, as shopping hubs like Chor and Zaveri bazaars bring out their best merchandise.
As the weather is marvellous at peak season, it’s also a great time to go on a Bombay Heritage Walk or watch the sun set on Marine Drive.

Shoulder Season:

Because of humid, close weather of March to early August, the city sees a decline in tourism, and a drop in the price of flights. If you do not mind the climate, this is an excellent time to visit the Mani Bhavan museum, take part in the Elephanta Festival, or take an early morning walk through the Five Gardens.

Off Season:

Though the heat of mid-August through November drives most tourists away, the adventurous traveller will take this time to enjoy such events as the Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri, or mingle with the locals at the Vie Lounge and the Mocha Bar.

Mumbai Airport and Transfer Information

Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM)
Distance: 28km to downtown Mumbai
For the first time traveller, taking a pre-paid taxi may be the best option. Although local buses are readily available and inexpensive, they can be crowded and a bit intimidating. Taxis can be expensive, but it is possible to get a better deal if you ask multiple drivers about their rates.

How to survive the flight to Mumbai?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve planned ahead. We’ve compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Mumbai escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Mumbai?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Mumbai in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
